The e.r,iivary cough or cold, resulting perhaps from a trilling or unconscious exposure, is often but the 1 eginnIng ofa fatal sickness. AYER'S CHERRY l'Ee'ro5AL has well proven its efficacy in a forty years' fight with throat and lung diseases, and should bo taken in all cases without delay. A Terrible Cough Cured. . In 1857 I took a severe cold, which affected my lungs. I hada terrible cough, and passed night niter night without sleep. '• The doctors gave me up. I tried AYER's CHERRY PECTORAL, which relieved my lungs, induced sleep, and afforded me the rest necessary for the recovery of my strength.
