A Safeguard.

The fatal rapidity with which slight
Colds and Coughs frequently develop
into the gravest maladies of the throat
and lungs, is a consideration which should
impel every prudent person to keep at
hand, as household remedy, bottle of
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL.
Nothing else gives such immediate relief
and works SO sure q cure i'll all affections
of this class. That eminent physician,
Prof. r. Sweetzer, of the Maine Medical
School, Brunswick, Me-, says
"Medical science has produced no other ano-
dyne expectorant SO good as AYERS CHERRY
PICTORIAL. II is invaluable for diseases of the
throat and lungs"
The same opinion is expressed by the
well-hnown DR.. L. j. Addison, of Chicago,
ILL.,, who says
81 have never found, in thirty-ive years of
continuous study and practice of medicine, any
preparation of SO great value as AYERS CHERRY
PICTORIAL, for treatment Of diseases of the
throat and lungs. It not only breaks up colds
and cures severe coughs, but is more effective
than anything else in relieving even the most
serious bronchial and pulmonary affections"

AYERS
Cherry PectoraI

Is not new claimant for popular conf
dence, but a medicine which is to-day
saving the lives of the third generation
who have come into being since it was
first offered to the public.
There is not household in which this
invaluable remedy has once been in
troduced where its use has ever been
abandoned, and there is not q person
who has ever given it a proper trial
for any throat or lung disease suscep-
tible of cure, who has not been made
well by it.
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has,
in numberless instances, cured obstinate
cases of chronic Bronchitis, Larnygitis,
and even acute Pneumonia, and has
saved many patients in the earlier stages
of Pulmonary Consumption. 1t is q
medicine that only requires TO be taken in
small doses, is pleasant to the taste, and is
needed in every house where there are
children, as there is nothing so good as
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL for treat
ment Of Group and Whooping Cough.
These are all plain facts, which can be
verified by anybody, and should be re-
membered by everybody.
