Cure

Is what many a mother is looking
for; something absolutely safe and
reliable, that will disarm her terror
of that dread rattling, strangling
cough, so fearful to the mother, so
fatal to the child. Ayers Cherry
Pectoral is a Group cure that can be
relied on. Thousands say so.
MRS. W. J. DICKSON ('Stanford Eveleth ,
writes from Truro, Ms. -
"That terror OF mothers, the startling,
oroupy cough, never alarmed me so long as /
had a bottle Of Ayers Cherry Pectoral in the
house."
We have used Ayers Cherry Pectoral ia
our family for years. Once when our boy
had severe attack of Group, we thought
that he would die. But we broke up the
attack by using Ayers Cherry PectoraL"
