No preparation has performed such
marvellous cures, or maintained 50
wide a reputation as AYERS CHER
Ry PICTORIAL, which is recognized
as the worlds remedy for all dis
eases Of the throat and lungs. Its

Eseliable agent to employ. Against
ordinary colds, which are the fore
runners Of more serious disorders,
it acts speedily and surely, always
relieving suffering, and often saw
ing life. The protection it affords
by its timely use in the throat and
lung disorders Of children, makes
ii an invaluable remedy to be kept
always on hand in every home.
No person can afford to be without
it, and those who have once used
it never will. From their knowl-
edge Of its composition and effects,
physicians use the Cherry Recto-
raj extensively in their practice,
and clergymen recommed it. 1t
is absolutely certain in its medical
effects, and will always cure where
cures are possible. For sale by
