Prevent
Pneumonia

Prevention is always better than
cure, even when cure is possible.
But so many times pneumonia is not
cured that prevention becomes the
natural act of that instinct of self
preservation which is "the first law
of nature" Pneumonia can be pre-
vented and is often cured by the use
of Ayers Cherry Pectoral.
Some years ago | had a severe cold and
was threatened with pneumonia. / could

Cherry Pectoral and took it according to the
