But so many times pneumonia is not cured that prevention becomes the natural act of that instinct of selfprtscrvation which is " the first law of nature." -Pneumonia can be prevented and is often cured by the use of Ayor's Cherry Pectoral. "Some years ago I had a eevere cold and wm threatened with pneumogia. I could neither eat nor Bleep, and was in a wretched condition. I procured a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral and took it according to the directions, and at the end of fifteen daysw as an well and Bound a* before the attack. I have recommended it in many caeca o/ pneumonia Mince, and have never knu?n it u. f?u in effecting a curt;." JOHN HENRY, St. Josej ., La. " I wiui attacked with a cold that nettled on ray lungs, and defied the skill of my physicians so that they considered me incurable. At last I began to use Ayer'a Cherry Pectoral and was entirely cured after having take* two bottles." FRANCISCO A.
