physician prescribed for me changing
he medicine as often as he found the
things I had taken were not helping
few. Mtk ;
me, but, in spite of his attendance, I got
no better. Finally my husband,- read
ing one day of a ntleixian who had
had the grippe and was cured by taking
A.yer's. Cherry Pectoral, procured, for
me, a bottle of this medicine, and before
I had taken half of it, f was cured. I
