the grave responsibility which Presi
dent McKinley throws on congress and

"MY WIFE'S LIFE,
How I was
of saving it.
When the lungs are nttneked nnd the
symptoms of consumption appear, then
begins tlic struggle between affection and
Hint destroying disease which slays its
thousands annually. It Is a happy Issue
to the struggle when disease Is conquered
nnd health restored. Such nn Issue does
not always end the strangle, but it did in
the case of Mr. K. Morris, Memphis, Tenn.,
who snw his wife wasting and weakening
and physicians helpless, aud then sue
gesttd the simple lcmcdy that wrought
the cure, lie tells the story thus :
"Seven years ago, my wife had a severe
attack of lung trouble which the phy
sicians pronounced consumption. The
cough was extremely distressing, espe
cially nt night, and was frequently
attended with the spitting of blood. The
doctors being unable to help her, I in
duced her to try Dr. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
and was surprised at the great relief it
gave. Before using one whole bottle she
was cured, so that now she is strong nnd
quite healthy. That this medicine saved
my wife's life I have not the least doubt.
I always keep Dr. Ayer'a Cherry Pectoral

have a cold or cough we use It, aud arc

Twenty years ago, after yenrs of investi

more. Dr. Hayes' treatment hns been nd

The question: "Is consumption cura
ble?" is still debated, and still debatable.
It is easy to say that this was not n case o
consumption. Yet the physicians haid it
was. They hhould know. As a matter
of fact, Dr. Ayer's Cherry I'ectoral hn
wrought so many similar cures that it
seems to nrguc the curoblcncss of con
sumption in its earlier stages, by the use
of this remedy. There is no better medi
cine for pulmonary troubles than Dr.
Ayer's Cherry I'ectoral. It gives relief in
cases of Asthma, nnd llrouchitis, where re
lief has been heretofore unattainable. It
promptly cures Coughs and Colds, I.a
Grippe, nnd nil affections of the throat
and lungs. Heretofore, Dr. Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral has been put up in full size
bottles only, nt fi.oo per bottle. To meet
n world-wide demand for n smaller pack,
ngc. the remedy is now put up in half size
bottles, nt half price 50 cents. Write for
Dr. Ayer's Curebook (free) and learn more
of the cures effected by Dr. Ayer's Cherry
