Given by a Minister. Preachers who practise it will preach better. Wo class of people is so liable to throat trouble as the great clas-. who make up the Gospel ministry. The .strain put upon the vocal organs by constant exercise; the sudden change from a heated building to the cool air when the vocal organs are in a state of complete relaxation; the fact that a minister feels impelled to use his voice when actors and lecturers wop Id take the needed rest ; these are among the reasons why "Clergymen’s sore throat" is known as a special disease. The Rev. K M. Brawley, D. I) . District Secretary oi the American Baptist Publication Society, writes from Petersburg. Va.. the account of an experience of his own which is profi table reading to those afflicted with Bron chial or other throat troubles. The sub staucc of the letter is as follows : Petersburg, Va. J. C. Ayer Co., Dear Sirs: Three months ago I took a violent cold which resulted in an attack of acute bronchitis. I put myself under a medical treatment, and at the end of two months was no better I found it very difficult to prcnch, and concluded to try Dr. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. The first bottle gave me great relief; the second, which 1 am now taking, has relieved me almost entirely of all unpleasant symptoms. Tc ministers suffering from throat troubles I recommend Dr. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. '* Prevention is better than cure.” A bottle of Dr. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral kept in the house, will effectually prevent the rooting of a cold ami its consequent devel opement into some dangerous malady. This remedy has uo equal in Bronchial troubles. The most stubborn cases have yielded to its use. It is equally effective for Asthma. Croup, Whooping Cough, and every disease that attacks the thioat or lungs. For years Dr. Ayer’s Cherry Pec toral has been put up only in large sire bottles, at a price ot $1.00. To meet an increasing demand for a smaller sired package the remedy can now be obtained in half-sire bottles, ut half price—50 cents.
