No preparation has ever performed such
marvellous cures, or maintained so
wide n reputation, as AYERS CHERRY

worlds remedy for all diseases of the

it acts speedily and surely, always re-
lieving suffering, and often saving life.
The protection it affords, by its timely
use in throat and chest disorders,
makes it 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 Dever
will. From their knowledge of its
composition and operation, physicians
use the CHERRY PICTORIAL extensively
in their practice, and clergymen recon-
mend it. It is absolutely certain in
its healing effects, and will always
cure where cures are possible.
