Safeguard.

The fatal rapidity with which slight
Colds and Cougas frequently develop
into the gravest maladies of the throat
and lungs, is consideration which should
impel every prudent person to keep at
hand, as q household remedy, bottle of
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL.
Nothing else gives such immediate relief
and works so sure cure in all affections
of this class. That eminent physician,
Prof. F. 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-Lnown DR.. L. j. Addison, of Chicago,
ILL.,, who says;--
81 have never found, in thirty-fve 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. 1t 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 Pectoral

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 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.

How Watch Cases are Made.

In buying silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap of most cheap
silver cases is made of a composition known
as albata, which is very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black in short time.
The backs of such cases are made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible of
the cheap metal. Another important point
inasilver case is the joints or hinges, which
should be made of gold. Those of most
cheap cases are made of silver, which is
not suitable metal for that purpose. In
a brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accumulate in the pocket. The
Keystone SilverWatch Cases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints.
Inourlong and varied xperiencen handling watches
wecanno but acknowledge and give testimony that
the Keystone Solid Silver Watch Gases are the best
made to our knowledge. Having soldering they re-
be were they heated for soldering and have more
resisting power against pressure than any other
in the market. MERMoD JAccARD JEWELLERY Co.
