6,ooo
Years Old
If wc live in deeds, not years, then Ayer s
Cherry Pectoral must be six thousand years old.
For sixty years it has been curing coughs and
colds, from a slight cold in the head to the most
desperate diseases of the lungs.
It is a hundred times as old in deeds as in
years, or a thousand times, for where can the
limit be placed when it has done such work as this :
"My wife had a deep-seated cough on her lung for three years. Ono day I happened to think how Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral cured my sister after she was given up to die. So I purchased two bottles and it cured my
Trlfe completely. It took only one bottle to euro my sister. So three bottles (f i.oo each) saved two lives."

Three sizes:
45c 50c, 1.00.
All druggists.
To keep on hand you will like the $1.00 size best, and you will need
this amount to cure a chronic or very severe cae. The 50c. size is just
bout right for bronchitii, hoarseness, U grippe, croup, e'c. The 25c.
lize is convenient when traveling, and is enough to break up 1 fresh cold.
