physicians as well as invalids to use it with
confidence. 1t is the most reliable remedy
for diseases of the throat and lungs that sci
ence has produced. 1t strikes at the foun-
dation of all pulmonary diseases, affording
prompt and certain relief and is adapted to
very palatable, the youngest children take
1t without difficulty. In the treatment of
ordinary Coughs, Colds, Sore Throat,
Bronchitis, Influenza, Clergyman's
Sore Throat, Asthma, Group, and Ca
tarrh, the effects of AYERS CHERRY Pee
ToRAL are magical, and multitudes are an
nually preserved from serious illness by its
timely and faithful use. 1t should be kept
at hand in every household, for the pro-
lection it affords in sudden attacks. In
Whooping- cough and Consumption
there is no other remedy so efficacious,
soothing, and helpful.
The marvellous cures which AYERS
CHERRY PECToRAL has effected all over the
world are sufficient guaranty that it will
continue to produce the best results. An
impartial trial will convince the most scepti-
cal of its wonderful curative powers, as well
as of its superiority over all other prepara-
tions for pulmonary complaints.
Eminent physicians in all parts of the
country, knowing its composition, recon-
mend AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL to invalids,
and prescribe it in their practice. The test
OF half century has proved its absolute
certainty to cure all pulmonary complaints
not already beyond the reach of human aid.
