I Orangeburg, S. C., Nov. 7tb, 1879.?tf THE BEST REMEDY Diseases ol the Throat ana Lungs. j Diseases of the ?YERS pulmonary organs are so prevalent and fatal, that a safe and reliable remedy for them is invaluable to every community. ?Ay Kit's Cherry ! Pectoral is such a r o in o d y, and no other so eminently j merits the conti (lenco of the public. It is a scientific com- I gjjbiuation of the medi- | ItPcinnl principles and ifi-jj,curative virtues of JiM the fmcst drags, PECTORAL, chemically united, to insure the great est possible efficiency and uniformity of re- ! units, winch enables* physicians as well as invalids to use it with confidence. It is the most reliable remedy for diseases of the throat and lungs that science has pro- j duced. It strikes at the foundation of all pulmonary diseases, affording prompt and certain relief, and is adapted to pa tients of any age or either sex. Being very palatable, the youngest children take it without difficulty. In the treat ment of ordinary Coughs, Colds, Soro T?roat, Bronchitis, Influenza, Cler gyman's SoroThroat, Asthma, Croup, and Catarrh, the effects of Ayeu'h Cherry Pectoral arc 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 tho protection it affords in sud den attacks. Iu "Whooping-cough and Consumption there- is no other remedy bo efficacious, soothing, aud helpful. The marvellous cures which Ayer's Cherry Pectoral has effected all over the world aro a sufficient guaranty that it will continue to produce the best results. An impartial trial will convince tho most sceptical of its wonderful curative powers, us well as of its superiority over all otber preparations for pulmonary complaints. Eminent physicians in all parts of tho country, knowing its composition, recom mend Ayer's Cherry Pectoral to lnva ? lids, and prescribe it in their practice. The test of half a century h:is proved its absoluto certainty to euro all pulmonary complaints not already beyond tho reach of human aid. ? Prepared by Dr. J. C.
