when Mrs. Thorndyke came into the
library before dinner. and he made a
comlnendable effort to appear natural

with DIR. Perevin had scarcely taken
shape when her first question flung him

There is more Catarrh in this section Of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j.
Cheney s Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the only
taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They

How | was the means
of saving it.

When the lungs are attacked and the
symptoms of consumption appear, then
begins the struggle between affection and
that destroying disease which Stays its
thousands annually. 1t is happy issue
to the struggle when disease is conquered
and health restored. Such an issue does
not always end the struggle, but it did in
the case Of Mr.. K. Norris Memphis Tenn,
who saw his wife wasting and wea kenIug
and physicians helpless. and then sug.
gested the simple remedy that wrought
the cure. He tells the story thus:
"Seven years ago. my wife had a severe
attack of lung trouble which the ply
sicians pronounced consumption. The
cough was extremely distressing, espe-
cially, at night, and was frequently
attended with the splitting of blood. The
doctors being unable to help her, I in
duced her to try DIR: Ayers Cherry Pectoral
and was surprised at the great relief it
gave. Before using one whole bottle she
was cured. so that now she is strong and
quite healthy. That this medicine saved
my wifes life have not the least doubt.

Tenn.
The question: "Is consumption cura.
BILE ?" is still debated, and still debatab1e.
1t is easy to say that this was not a case of
consumption. Yet the physicians said ii
was: They should know. AS a matter
of fact, DR.. Ayers Cherry Pectoral has
wrought SO many similar cures that it
seems to argue the curableness of con-
sumption in its earlier stages, by the use
of this remedy. There is no better medi-
cine for pulmonary troubles than DR..
Ayers Cherry Pectora1. 1t gives relief in
cases of Asthma, and Bronchitis, where re-
lief has been heretofore unattainable. 1t
promptly cures Coughs and Colds, La
Grippe, and all affections of the throat
and lungs. Heretofore, DIR. Ayers Cherry
rectoral has been put up in full size
bottles only, at s. 90 per bottle. To meet
a wor ld-wide demand for a smaller pack
