Prevention is always bettor than
cure, even when cure ia possible.
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. SEVER!ANO,
Taunton, Mass.

Cherry Pectoral
