Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. But it has cured a
great many most desperate cases, chronic
cases, such cases as no other medicine in the
world touches.
The next time you talk with your doctor
ask him if knows of any other cough medicine
that so quickly cures colds and coughs, even
the hardest kind of lung troubles. He will
give you an honest answer. Abide by it.
" I was given up to die with quick consumption. I rapidly lost In weight
, from 138 to 98 pounds. I had repeated hemorrhages, und at last went to bed
never expecting to get up. I then tried Ayor's Cherry Pectoral, and in nine
months I had icgained my old weight and was a well man again."
