AND CONSUMPTION.
The uniform success which has attended the use
of this preparation—its salutary effect—its power to
relieve and cure affections of the Lungs, have gained
for it a celebrity equalled by no other medicine. We
offer it to the afflicted with entire confidence in its
virtues, and the full belief that it will subdue and
remove the severest attacks of disease upon the
Throat and Lungs. These results, as they become
publicly known, very naturally attract the attention
of medical men and philanthropists everywhere.
What is their opinion of Cherry Pectoral , may be
seen in the following :
VALENTINE MOTT, M. D.,
Prof. Surgery Med. College, New York , says:—
“ It gives me pleasure to certify the value and effi
cacy of Ayer’s CHERRY PECTORAL, which I
consider peculiarly adapted to cure diseases of the
Throat and Lungs.”
THE RT. REV. LORD BISHOP FIELD
writes in a letter to his friend, who was fast sinking
under an affection of the Lungs ; —“ Try the CHER
RY PECTORAL, and if any medicine can give you
relief, wflh the blessing of God, that will.”
CHIEF JUSTICE EUSTIS,
of Louisiana, writes “ That a young daughter of his
was cured of several severe attacks of Croup by
the ‘CHERRY PECTORAL.’”
ASTHMA AND BRONCHITIS.
The Canadian Journal of Medical Science
states, “That Asthma and Bronchitis, so prevalent in
this inclement climate, has yielded with surprising
rapidity to Ayer’s CHERRY PECTORAL, and we
cannot toi strongly recommend this skillful prepara
tion to the Profession and public generally.”
LET THE RELIEVED SUFFERER SPEAK FOR HIMSELF ;
Hahttord, Jan 26, 1847.
Dr. J; C. Ayer—Dear Sir:—Having been rescued
from a painful and dangerous disease by your medi
cine, gratitude prompts me to send you this acknow
ledgment, not only in justice to you, but for the in
formation of others in like affliction.
A slight cold upon the lungs, neglected at first,
became so severe that spitting of blood, a violent
cough and profuse night sweats followed and fastened
upon me. I became emaciated, could not sleep, was
distressed by my cough, and a pain through my
chest, and in short had all the alarming symptom?
ot quick consumption. No medicine seemed at all to
reach my case, until I providentially tried your
CHERRY PECTORAL, which soon relieved and
now has cured me. Yours with respect,
E. A. STEWART.
Albany, N. Y., April 17, 1849.
Dr. Ayer, Lowell —Dear Sir—l have for years
been afflicted with Asthma in the worst form; so that
I h«re been obliged to sleep in my chair for a larger
part of the time, being unable to breathe on my bed.
I had tried a great many medicines to no purpose,
until my Physician prescribed, as an experiment,
your CHERRY PECTORAL,
At first it seemed to make me worse, but in less
than a week I began to experience the most gratify
ing relief from its use ; and now, in four weeks the
disease is entirely removed. I can sleep on ray bed
with comfort, and enjoy a state of health which 1 had
never expected to enjoy.

CHRONICLE & sentineßH
MISCELLANY.
From the JV. Y. Courier and Enquirer.
The London Press.
The Periodical Press of London exerts, per
haps, more influence than any other single a
gency of the times—and there is a correspon- l|
ding interest felt in the detailed arrangements
by which its daily operations are carried on,
and in the men by whom they are directed,
and from whom they emanate. The writer
having enjoyed opportunities seldom posses*-
ed by persons in this country, for making him
self familiar with the subject, proposes to give
as full and satisfactory an account of the Press
of London, as the space which can be devoted
to a series of articles upon that topic in these
columns, will permit.
The Daily Press of London is, with the ex
ception of the Weekly Despatch and the Spec
tator, almost the only portion of the Presses
which possess anything approaching a direct
and decided political influence. Its circulation
is generally of a fluctuating character, though Hi
upon the average it presents pretty nearly the
same proportion every year, the Times being
far beyond any of the other journals in the
general average of its sale and having now
continued to be so for a great length of time.
It will therefore be the paper which we shall
in the first instance examine. The other daily
papers are, the Morning Herald, the Morning
Chronicle, the Morning Post, and the Daily
News; the Sun, which is both a morning and
evening newspaper, and the Globe and Stan
dard, both of them evening journals.
The Times was originally started by the
grand-father of the present Mr. Walter, then ;
printer to the Board ol Customs and a book- l
seller and publisher, doing a large business in
the neighborhood of Charing-Cross, at that pe
riod the great centre of business at the West
End of London. It was, however, during the
first years of its existence anything but pros
perous property, so much so, indeed, that it
has been said that at the period in which Mr.
Walter’s son first undertook its management it
had been seriously contemplated to discontinue
its publication. Luckily, however, for himself,
Mr. Walter was a man of singular and striking
energy, and from the period at which his father
confided the paper to his management, devel
oped a spirit of enterprise which, conjoined
with a shrewdness and tact for business rarely
paralleled, advanced the journal to the position
it at present occupies—that of the first, the
ablest, and the most influential journal, at pre
sent existing in Europe. One great praise is
also due to Mr. Walter. Whatever may have :
been the political principles of the period es
poused by the Times —whatever may have
Deen his faults and tergiversations as a political
partisan, and these have been many—he has
consistently and energetically espoused,through
his journal, the interests of the poorer classes,
and not unfrequently through his energy and
untiring exertions as its editor, have those
measures been passed through the Legislature
which have of late years done so much to se
cure the benefit and advantage efhis labor to
the working man. That much remains to be
done is certain. Yet as certain is it that but for
his individual exertion, much less would have
been done.
The Times, as well as the other morning
(newspapers, has two distinct editorial establish
ments —the one solely occupied by the gentle
men employed upon the City Article, is in
Lombard-street, and its business hours are f rom
twelve to five in the day. The other— occu
pied with political matters and the daily ma
king up of the paper —is located in Printing
House Square, two entire sides of which are
occupied by the printing establishment of the
journal. Its business hours generdly com
mence Rt eight in the evening. When Mr,
Walter first came into the management of the
journal, the Morning Chronicle was the prin
cipal of the morning papers, and the old Cou
rier. now united with the Globe, held in some
degree, although published in the evening, a
similar position with that which at present be
longs to the Times. But at this period the
English Press was anything but what it now is.
More especially, perhaps, was this evident in
the corps of reporters, and in the foreign cor
respondents employed by the daily journals,—
These last were but few, and in roost instances
comparatively ill-paid; nor were they expected,
as they are now, to write from the seat of war
in times of active disturbance. As for the for
mer, those employed during the sessions of the
House of Parliament, were then in the habit of
passing the time which should have been devo
ted to their duties, in a neighboring tavern—
one of their number in his turn doing the work
which was subsequently copied by the whole
of them. It may easily be imagined how ac
curately and successfully that work was done,
when it ia borne in mind that at the present
moment the sessional engagements of a Lon
don newspaper, for the reporters’ gallery, as it
is called, alone, invariable number from ten to
fourteen or sixteen individual how
ever, Mr. Walter first entered upon
agement of the Times, it gradually became evi
dent that a new spirit was so modify, nay, al
most totally to change the internal character of
the Press, and by degrees he drew around hinr
the men fitted for their work. In this task, how
ever, he was beset by difficulties, and it is said,
we know not with what degree of truih, that
his efforts became the subject of painful com
ment in his father’s will. The principal of those
whom he drew around him, with this view,
were Mr. Barnes —at that time the foreign cor
respondent for the Times at Constantinople. «
man of thorough education and good business
habits, as well as an able and most vigorous
writer; —Mr. Alsager, to whom was subse
quently confided the whole control and man
agement of the City Article, whose melancholy
, suicide some four years since, was a subject of
the deepest regret to all who were in the slight
! est degree acquainted with him; and Mr. De
laine, the printer and publisher of the journal
I for many years, and at present the acting edi
tor and manager of the Morning Chronicle.—
1 As the editor of the Times, Mr. Barnes was of
the greatest value to the paper. His untiring
and never-flagging energy, coupled with the
j ability and coarse vigor of his pen, made him
of singular service to Mr. Walter, and identi
fied his reputation with that of the paper. We
I believe we are correct in stating, that his sal
i arv was at last fixed at £I,OOO a year, and that
he' became the proprietor of two shares—equiv
alent to one-tenth of the journal.
It was, however, towards the close of the
continental wars which ravaged Europe at the
b commencement of the present century, that the
- Times first began to acquire its present position
• —and this through the skill and energy with
t which Mr. Walter managed his continental re

played throughout the whole of that singular
and remarkable trial, which terminated in her
acquittal. From this period, the journal has
