about SOC at Chicago business yesterday on
change was completely PROSTATE. 1t is not SO
much the low figures as the uncertain state of
the market which stagnates everything. Those
who believe in higher prices hold on stubbornly

off with expectation Of still lower market. The
depression in wheat affected all other produce
and the market was dull in the extreme. The
prices at the call were merely nominal, no one
caring to operate. Baled hay was the only thing
which seemed to hold its own, and $3.50 was bid
for wild; half dozen cars of heated hay sold at
400, 81. so and $500; potatoes were offered at

AYERS
Cherry PICTORIAL

Is not new claimant for popular conf
dence, bu: 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 q household in which this
invaluable remedy has once been in
troduced where its use has ever been
abandoned, and there is not person
who has ever given it 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
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.
