LOSS OF VOICE After Acute Bronchitis CURED BY USIKQ AVER'S Cherry Pectoral A PREACHER'S EXPERIENCE. "Three months ago, I took a vio lent cold which resulted in an attack of acute bronchitis. I put myself under medical treatment, and at the nd of two months was no better. I found it very difficult to preach, and concluded to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. The first bottle gave me great relief ; the second, which I am now taking, has relieved me almost entirely of all unpleasant symptoms, and I feel sure that one or two bot tles more will effect a permanent cure. To all ministers suffering from throat troubles, I recommend Ayer's Cherry Pectoral." E. M. Beawley, D. D., Dist. Secretary, Am. Bapt. Publication Society, Petersburg, Va.

J,ike tne derbuss" of decade they : big and clum but ineffec In this cent ury of enlight enment, we have Dr. Fierce s Pleasant Pel lets, which cure all liver, stomach and bowel derange- ents in tne most effective way. Assist Nature a little now and then, with a gentle, cleansing laxative, thereby removing of fending matter from the stomach and bowels, toning up and invigorating the liver 'and quickening its tardy action, and you thereby remove the cause of a multitude of distressing diseases, such as headaches, indigestion, or dyspepsia, biliousness, pimples, blotches, eruptions, boils, constipation, piles, fistulas and maladies too numerous to mention. If people would pay more attention to properly regulating the action of their bowels, they would "have, less fre quent occasion to call for their doctor's services to subdue attacks of dangerous diseases. That, of all known agents to accom plish this purpose, Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are unequaled, is proven by the fact that once, used, they are always in favor. Their secondary effect is to keep the bowels open and regular, not to fur ther constipate, as is the case with other pills. Hence, their great popularity, with sufferers from habitual constipation, piles and indigestion. A free sample of the " Pellets," (4 to 7 doses) on trial, is mailed to any address, post-paid, on receipt of name and address on postal card. Address, Woeid's Dispensary Msdi cax.
