To Save Life


Frequently requires prompt action. An
hours delay waiting for the doctor may
be attended with serious consequences,
especially in cases of Group, Pneumonia,
and other throat and lung troubles.
Hence, no family should be without
bottle of Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
which has proved itself, in thousands of
cases, the best Emergency Medicine
ever discovered. 1t gives prompt relief
and prepares the way for thorough
cure, which is certain to be effected by
its continued use.
S. II. Latimer, M. D., Mt. Vernon.
Ga, says: / have found Ayers Cherry
Pectoral a perfect cure for Group in all
cases. | have known the worst cases
relieved in very short time by its use;
and advise all families to use it in sud-
den emergencies, for coughs, Group, &C."
A. j. Edison, NJ. D., Middletown,
Tenn, says Il have used Ayers
Cherry Pectoral with the best effect in
my practice. This wonderful prepara-
ton once saved my life. l had a con-
stant cough, night sweats, was greatly
reduced in flesh, and given up by my
physician. One bottle and a half of the
Pectoral cured me"
81 cannot say enough in praise of
Ayers Cherry Pectoral," writes E.

ing as do that, but for its use, | should
