EW-OXFORDSHIRE BUCKS FOUL SAFE. 
The subscriber has a number of yearlings and two-year- 
old bucks which he will sell any time when called for, and has 
no hesitation in saying this breed of sheep is superior to all 
others for large carcass, heavy fleeces, early maturity, and con¬ 
stitution, and defies competition with all other breeds for profit,. 
This flock, (which has been bred from some of the best ever im¬ 
ported,) is so well known they need no further description than 
to say that the sire clipped 18 pounds of washed wool, and 
weighed 361 pounds alive. Gentlemen are invited to call and 
see for themselves, or communicate by mail. Direct to

ING COUGH AND CONSUMPTION. 
In offering to the community this justly-celebrated remedy for 
diseases of the throat and lungs, it is not our wish to trifle with 
the lives or health of the afflicted, but frankly lay before them the 
opinions of distinguished men, and some of the evidences of its 
success, from which they can judge for themselves. We sincerely 
pledge ourselves to make no wild assertions or false statements of 
its efficacy, nor will we hold out any hope to suffering humanity 
which facts will not warrant. 
Many proofs are here given, and we solicit an inquiry from the 
public into all we publish, feeling assured they will find them 
perfectly reliable, and the medicine worthy of their best confi¬ 
dence and patronage. 
From the distinguished Projessor of Chemistry and Materia 
Medico ,, Bowdoin College. —Dear Sir: I delayed answering the 
receipt of your preparation, until I had an opportunity of witness¬ 
ing its effects in my own family, or in the families of my friends. 
This I have now done with a high degree of satisfaction, in cases 
both of adults and children. I have found it, as its ingredients 
show, a powerful remedy for colds, coughs, and pulmonary dis¬ 
eases. PARKER CLEAVELAND, M. D.. 
Brunswick, Maine , Feb. 5th , 1847. 
From an Overseer in the Hamilton Mills , in this City. —Dr. J. 
C. Ayer: I have been cured of the worst cough 1 ever had in my 
life, by your “ Cherry Pectoral,” and never fail, when I have op¬ 
portunity, of recommending it to others. 
Lowell , Aug. 10 tli, 1849. S. D. EMERSON. 
Read the following, and see if this medicine is worth a trial. 
This patient had become very feeble, and the effect of the medi¬ 
cine was unmistakably distinct:— 
United States Hotel , Saratoga Springs , July 5th, 1849. 
Dr. J. C. Ayer—Sir: I have been afflicted with a painful affec¬ 
tion of the lungs, and all the symptoms of settled consumption, 
for more than a year. I could find no medicine that would reach 
my case, until J commenced use of your “ Cherry Pectoral,” which 
gave me gradual relief, and I have been steadily gaining my 
strength till my health is well nigh restored. 
While using your medicine, I had the gratification of curing 
with it, my reverend friend, Mr. Truman, of Sumpter District, 
who had been suspended from his pastoral duties by a severe 
attack of bronchitis. I have pleasure in certifying these facts to 
you, and am, sir, 
Yours respectfully, 
J. F. CALHOUN, of South Carolina.
