The fatal rapidity with which slight 
Colds and Coughs frequently develop 
into the gravest maladies of the throat 
and lungs, is a consideration which should 
impel every prudent person to keep at 
hand, as a household remedy, a bottle of 
AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL. 
Nothing else gives such immediate relief 
and works so sure a cure in all after Lions 
of this class. That eminent physician. 
Prof. F. Sweetzer, of the Maine Medical 
School, Brunswick, Me., says:— 
“Medical science baa produced no o*her ano¬ 
dyne expectorant so good as Ayr it's Cherry 
Pectoral. It in invaluable for diseases of Lhe 
throat atpl luugs.” 
The same opinion is expressed bv the 
well-known I)r. L. J. Addison, of Chicago. 
111 ., who says:— 
“I have never found, in thirty-five years of 
continuous study and practice or medicine, any 
preparation of so great valueaa Ayer’s Cherry 
pectorai., for treatment of diseases of the 
throat and lungs. It not only breaks up colds 
and cures severe coughs, but is more effective 
Ilian anything else in relieving even the most 
serious bronchia) and pulmonary affections.’ 1

Our household treasure is two years old and 
has just recovered from an illness caused by 
difficult teething. As it was rather an uncom¬ 
mon experience I give it in order to remind 
other mothers of the extra care and attention 
required by the little ones at this critical pc- 
ri<*l, The baby had cut all her other teeth 
without any trouble, and these were the two 
farthest back on the lower jaw. With a young 
mother's thoughtlessness '(or rather want of 
knowledge on the subject) 1 neglected to ex¬ 
amine her gums until a very bad breath led 
me to investigate the cause. I found the gums 
all very much swollen aud liable tv bleed upon 
the slightest pressure. Over the imprisoned 
teeth they had ulcerated aud were discharg¬ 
ing. Her papa lanced both places with the 
point of his pen-knife and the blood 
flowed freely. After riusiug the mouth 
thoroughly with warm water, in which 
a little borax had beeu dissolved, I applied 
a mixture of pulverized charcoal with 
a little tannin made into a paste by 
adding a little water. This I rubbed all 
around on the gums and put some in her 
mouth, and let her work it about the best she 
could Charcoal is cleansing anil soothing iu 
its effect, and the tauniu I know is a remedy 
used iu diseases of the gums. The fever was 
reduced and the drowsiness overcome by fre¬ 
quent bathings in very weak lye water, and 
brisk rubbing of the entire surface of the

AYER’S 
Cherry Pectoral 
Is not a new claimant for popular confi¬ 
dence, but a medicine which is to-day 
saving the lives of the third generation 
who have come into being since it was 
first offered to the public. 
There is not a household in which this 
iuvaluablti remedy lias once been in¬ 
troduced where its use has ever been 
abandoned, and there is not a person 
is ho has ever given it a proper trial 
for any throat or lung disease suscop- 
tilde of cure, who Inus not been made 
well bv it. 
AYElt’S CHERRY PECTORAL has, 
iu numberless instances, cured obstinate 
cases of chronic Bronchitis, I.arnygitis, 
and even acute Pneumonia, and has 
saved many patients in the c-arlicr singes 
or Pulmonary Consumption, It is a 
medicine that only requires to betaken in 
small doses, is pleasant to the taste, and is 
needed in every house where there are 
children, as there is nothing so good as 
V YKIPS t HERRY PECTOR AL for lreat- 
ineut of Croup and Whooping Cough. 
These are all plain fuels, which can be 
verified by anybody, and should be re¬ 
membered by everybody.

EXTRACT FROM A LETTER. 
In lookiug over some old Rural’s the other 
dav I came across some of Mrs. Fisher’s travel¬ 
ing sketches, aud I could not help wishing that 
she would start on a Western or Southern 
trip: for next to “ seeing the sights” oue’s-self, 
it is extremely pleasant to read truthful, racy 
descriptions, such as she used to w-rite. I 
enjoyed them so much. But ns far as her 
really fine theories go about raising children 
so t hey will have no desire for meat or candies, 
1 think she will need to “born and raise” a 
half-dozen rollicking boys to know whether 
her theories arc all practical in raising human 
flowers. I am sure she tvould fiud u marked 
contrast in dispositions, even with the very 
best moral and physical training. M. a.
