Its uniform character and power to cure tho vari? ous affections of the lungs and throat, have mado it known as a reliable protector against them. While adapted to milder forms of disease and to young children, it is at tiwi same time trie most effectual remedy that can bo given for incipient consumption, and the dangerous affections of tho throat and lungs. As a provision against sudden attacks of CKOUI\ it should be kept on hand in every family; and, indeed, as all are sometimos subject to colds and coughs, all should be provided with this antidoto for them. Although Bottled CONSUMPTION is thought incurable, still great numbers of eases where tho disease Boomed settled have been completely cured, and the patient restored to sound health by thc CHERRY PECTORAL. So complete is its mastery over tho disorders of tho lungs and throat, that the most obstinate of them yield to it. When nothing else could reach them, under tho CHERRY PECTORAL they subside and disap? pear. SINGERS and FUBLIC SPEAKERS lind great protection from it. ASTHMA is always relieved and often vholly cured by it. BRONCHITIS is generally curad bv taking the CHERRY PECTORAL in small and [refluent doses.
