      For Instant Use

      As a reliable remedy, in cases of Croup, Whooping Cough, or sudden Colds, and for the prompt relief and cure of throat and lung diseases, Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is invaluable. Mrs. E. G. Edgerly, Council Bluffs, Iowa, writes: I consider Ayer's Cherry Pectoral a most important remedy for home use. I have tested its curative power, in my family, many times during the past thirty years, and have never known it to fail. It will relieve the most serious affections of the throat and lungs, whether in children or adults. John H. Stoddard, Petersburg, Va., writes: "I have never found a medicine equal to

      AYER'S

      Cherry Pectoral

      for the prompt relief of throat and lung diseases peculiar to children. I consider it an absolute cure for all such affections, and am never without it in the house. Mrs. L. E. Herman, 187 Mercer St., Jersey City, writes: I have always found Ayer's Cherry Pectoral useful in my family. B. T. Johnson, Mt. Savage, Md., writes: For the speedy cure of sudden Colds, and for the relief of children afflicted with Croup, I have never found anything equal to Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It is the most potent of all the remedies I have ever used. W. H. Stickler, Terre Haute, Ind., writes: Ayer's Cherry Pectoral cured my wife of a severe lung affection, supposed to be Quick Consumption. We now regard the Pectoral as a household necessity. E. M. Breckenridge, Brainerd, Minn., writes: I am subject to Bronchitis, and, wherever I go, am always sure to have a bottle of

      Ayer's Cherry Pectoral

      with me. It is without a rival for the cure of bronchial affections."

      INDIGESTION

      To strengthen the stomach, create an appetite, and remove the horrible depression and despondency which result from Indigestion, there is nothing so effective as Ayer's Pills. These Pills contain no calomel or other poisonous drug, act directly on the digestive and assimilative organs, and restore health and strength to the entire system. T. P. Bonner, Chester, Pa., writes: "I have used Ayer's Pills for the past 30 years, and am satisfied I should not have been alive to-day, if it had not been for them. They

      Cured

      me of Dyspepsia when all other remedies failed, and their occasional use has kept me in a healthy condition ever since. L. N. Smith, Utica, N. Y., writes: I have used Ayer's Pills, for Liver troubles and Indigestion, a good many years, and have always found them prompt and efficient in their action. Richard Norris, Lynn, Mass., writes: After much suffering, I have been cured of Dyspepsia and Liver troubles

      Ayer's Pills. They have done me more good than any other medicine I have ever taken. John Burdett, Troy, Iowa, writes: For nearly two years my life was rendered miserable by the horrors of Dyspepsia. Medical
