 oft Threatening Cold

Miss Lee. for example. awoke with slight fever and an 'achy." irrl- tated feeling in her nose. throat and chest. Instead of ending it at onco by prompt treatment, she neglected the cold to nurse patient who was seriously i'll.

 Acting on his advice she took double strength doses of Ayers Pec- toral-the hospital certified medica. tion of wild cherry, terpinhydrate and other ingredients used to help reduce fever, clear up congestion and drive the cold out of ones system.
 Relief began almost instantly when she felt it's comforting. healing warmth from her nose passages deep down into her chest. Congestion began to clear up and by night her fever was normal and the '.achy" feeling had disappeared. Next and in just a day or 30 all trace of tho cold and cough had cleared up entirely.
