Prevention is always better than
cure, oven when euro is possible,
Hut so many times pneumonia is not
cured that prevention becomes tho
natural act of that instinct of self
preservation which is "the first law
of nature." Pneumonia can bo pre
vented ami is often cured by tho use
of Ayers Cherry Pectoral.
"Some years ago I had a Severn col J nnd
win threatened with pneumonia 1 could
neither eat nor sleep, and waa in a wretched
condition. I procured a bottle of Ayer'a
Cheiry Pectoral and took it according to tho
directions, and at the and of fifteen d.iysw at
as well and sound as before tho attack. I
have recommended It In many cases of nneu
monia since, and have never known it to fail
In elfecting a cure.
JOHN HENRY, St. Joseph, La.
"I was attacked with a cold that settled
on my lungs, and defied the skill of my phy-
eicians so that they considered me Incurable.
At last I began to use Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
and was entirely cured after having taken
two bottles.
