How often Is heard the expression,
GLOW different would | have acted, had
| my life TO live over" Nothing vanor
was ever said. Years only bring ex-
perience. Had the respondent suffered
from II long settled cough. for instance,
who finds thar his life is growing Il
curse to him, avoided this exposure or
adopted that course OF medication, lac
imagines that 1t would have resulted
differently. lie keeps on, however, Ia
the beaten paths OF worthless medicines
without benefit, when he might secure
WIsTAR's BALsAM or WILD CHERRY
from any druggist, and it would at
once soothc his agony of breathing and
coughing, and removing the exaspera-
ting cause, restore health to tho tissues
of the throat and lungs. Everywhere
and always has this BAI-sAM relieved
and In majority of instances effected
cure where the sick ones havo been
given over to despair s..i death. 50
cents and 81 hottie. Sold by all
