THE BEST REMEDY

to every community,
r Ar Bit 8 CltBRRY

It is a scientific com

Vr"_ the finest drugs,
PECTORAL, cliomlcally united,
*** * v to insure the great
est possible efficiency and uniformity of re
BultH, which enables physicians as well as
Invalids to use it. with confidence. It is
the must reliable remedy for diseases of
the throat and lungs that*science! lues pro
duced. It strikes at tho foundation of all
pulmonary diseases, affording prompt
and certain relief, and is adopted to pa
tients of any age or either Hex. llcing
very palatable, tho youngest children
take it without difficulty. In tho treat
ment of ordinary Coughs. Colds, Soro
Throat, Bronchitis, influenza. Cler
gyman's Sore Throat, Astlmin, Croup,
and Catarrh, tho effects of Avers
Cherry Peotoraij are magical,and multi
tudes are annually preserved from serious
illness by its timely and faithful use. It
should bo kept at "hand in every house
hold, for the protection it affords in sud
den attacks. In "Whooping-cough and
Consumption thero is no other remedy
bo efficacious, soothing, and helpful.
The marvellous cures which Ayrr's
OlIERRY Pectoral has effected all over
the world are a sufficient guaranty that it
will continue to produce tho best results.
An impartial trial will convince tho most
sceptical of its wonderful curative powers,
as well on of its superiority over all other
preparations for pulmonary complaints.
Eminent physicians in all parts of tho
countrv, knowing its composition, recom
mend avbr's Cherry Pectoral to inva
lids, and prosoriho it in their practice.
The test of half a century has proved ita
ahsoluto certainty to euro all pulmonary
complaints not already beyond the reach
