Coughing . '' I was given up to die with

quick consumption. I then began to use Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I improved at once, and am now in perfect health ."-Cbas. E. Han­man, G ibbstown, N . Y.

It's too risky, playing with your cough.

The first thing you know it will be down deep in your lungs and the-play ,viii be over, Be­gin early with Ayer's Cherry Pectoral and stop the cough .•
