A
gRackinCough
Cured by flyer's Cherry Pectoral,
Mrs. P. D. HALL, 217 Genessee St.,
Lockport, N. Y., says :
"Over thirty years ago, I remember
hearing my father describe the wonder.,
ful curative effects of Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral. During a recent attack of La
Grippe, which assumed the form of e
catarrh, soreness
of the lungs, aceora.
panied by an aggravating cough, I
used various remedies and prescriptions,
While some of these medicines partially
alleviated the coughing during the day,
none of them afforded me any relief from
that spasmodic action of the lungs which
would seize me the moment I attempted
to lie down at night. After tenor twelve
such nights, I was

My Ownest Own,- .
Since your cruel repulse from -my side
at the hand -or, rather, the foot -of pa,
I have mused long and fondly, my
darling, on your daring proposition
that I should fly with you and be at
rest. I know it's naughty, and my
heart and my conscience reprove me,
but I'm ready to fly with you, dearest,
to the utmost parts of the earth.
If I remember aright, the instructions
were : Carriage corner street, midnight,
then. away to a land where the scorner
is not, Terms to be made at leisure
with infuriated papa. • Peace being
made, we are to return to Exeter, re-
ceive his blessing, settle down, and live
happily ever afterwards,just like Arthur
and Angelina, the couple in "For Love
and Fortune; or Love will Find a Way,"
You knowthe book, love.
I do so hope nothing will. Happen to"
prevent our escape. If pa should catch
us before we are married -oh I Charlie,
I shudder to think of the consequences.
But with you, love, I'm prepared for
the worst. Smile when you see me in
church, and I shall know you expect me
to be ready :when the fate¢Sul time
