It is the most reliable remedy for diseases of j tbo throat and lungs that science bos pro duced. It strikes at the foundation of all pulmonary diseases, affording prompt ami certain relief, and ia adapted to pa tients of any age or either sex. I3efng very palatable, tho youngest children take it without difficulty. In the treaty mont of ordinary Coughs, Colds, Sore Throat, Bronchitis, Influenza, Cler gyman's Soro Throat, Asthma, Croup, and Catarrh, the effects of Ayer's Cserky PECTORAL aro magical, and multir tudes are annually preserved from serious illness by its timely and faithful uso. It should be kept at band in every house hold, for tho protection it affords in sud den attacks. In Whooping-cough, and Consumption there is no other remedy so efficacious, soothing, and helpful. Tho marvellous cures which Ayer's ' Cherry Pectoral bos effected all over tho world are a sufficient guaranty that it will continue to produce the beat results. An impartial trial will convince the most sceptical of its wonderful curative powers, ' as well as of its superiority over all other preparations for pulmonary complaints. Eminent physicians in all parts of the) country, knowing its composition,recom mend Ayer's Cherry Pectoral to inva lids, and prcscribo-it in their practice.
