It may be stated as great North Ann
erican fact, leaving all partisanship out of

play the interior quality of their am
munition.

OF this class. That eminent physician,

ayne expcctorant so good as AYERS CHEEsY

The same opinion is expressed by the

~ have never found, in thirty.fve years OF
continuous study and practice of medicine, any
preparation Of 20 great value as Ayers CHERRY
PICTORIAL, for treatment of diseases of the

aud cures severe coughs, but is more effective
than anything else In relieving even the most
