      I’d been out of the hospital following (let’s call it) treatment for COVID-19 about a month. My hospital ward of 50 patients had one oxygen concentrator. Despite my blood-oxygen saturation levels of 90%, that device wasn’t coming my way anytime soon.

      Ayer's

      Cherry Pectoral

      Should be kept constantly at hand, for use in emergencies of the household. Many a mother, startled in the night by the ominous sounds of Croup, finds the little sufferer, with red and swollen face, gasping for air. In such cases Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is invaluable. Mrs. Emma Gedney, 159 West 128 st., New York, writes: While in the country, last winter, my little boy, three years old, was taken ill with Croup; it seemed as if he would die from strangulation. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral was tried in small and frequent doses, and, in less than half an hour, the little patient was breathing easily. The doctor said that the Pectoral saved my darling's life. Mrs. Chas. B. Landon, Guilford, Conn., writes: "Ayer's Cherry Pectoral

      Saved My Life,

      and also the life of my little son. As he is troubled with Croup, I dare not be without this remedy in the house. Mrs. J. Gregg, Lowell, Mass., writes: My children have repeatedly taken Ayer's Cherry Pectoral for Coughs and Croup. It gives immediate relief, followed by cure. Mrs. Mary E. Evans, Scranton, Pa., writes: I have two little boys, both of whom have been, from infancy, subject to violent attacks of Croup. About six months ago we began using Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, and it acts like a charm. In a few minutes after the child takes it, he breathes easily and rests well. Every mother ought to know what a blessing I have found in Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. Mrs. Wm. C. Reid, Freehold, N. J., writes: In our family, Ayer's medicines have been blessings for many years. In cases of Colds and Coughs, we take

      Ayer's Cherry Pectoral,

      and the inconvenience is soon forgotten."

      Happiness

      results from that true contentment which indicates perfect health of body and mind. You may possess it, if you will purify and invigorate your blood with Ayer's Sarsaparilla. E. M. Howard, Newport, N. H., writes: "I suffered for years with Scrofulous humors. After using two bottles of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, I

      Found

      great relief. It has entirely restored me to health. James French, Atchison, Kans., writes: To all persons suffering from Liver Complaint, I would strongly recommend Ayer's Sarsaparilla, I was afflicted with a disease of the liver for nearly two years, when a friend advised me to take this medicine.
