Coughin
T s Nature's effort to expel foreign sub.
1 stances from the bronchial passages.
Frequently, this causes inflammation
and the need of an anodyne. No other
expectorant or anodyne Is equal to
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It assists
Nature in ejecting the mucus, allays
irritation, induces repose, and is the
most popular of all cough cures.
"Of the many preparations before the
imbue for the cure of colds, coughs,
bronchitis, and kindred diseases, there
is none, within the range of my experi-
ence, so reliable as Ayer's Cherry Pec-
toral. For years 1 was subject to colds,
followed by terrible coughs. Abort four
years ago, wizen so afflicted, I was ad-
vised to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral and
today all 'other remedies aside. I did
so and within a week was well of my
cold and cough. Since then I have
always kept this preparation in the
house, and feel comparatively secure."
-Mrs. L. L. Brown, Denmark, Miss.
"A few years ago 1 took a severe cold
which affected my lungs. I had a tor-
Tibio cough, and passed night actor

and &Forded the rest neeeesa1y for the
recovery of my strength. By the eon -
