Mr. T. P. Paschall sends the following
specific for hog cholera to the McDuffie
Journal : Give your hogs one good feed
every week of collard leaves, and I will
warrant you will never have cholera in

Cherry Pectoral
tFor Diseases of the
Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds,
Whooping Cough,
Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
The reputation it has attained, in consequence of
the marvellous cures it has produced during the
last half century, is a sufficient assurance to the
public that it will continue to realize the happiest
results that can be desired. In almost every
section of country there are persons, publicly
known, who have been restored from alarming and
even desperate diseases of the lungs, by its use.
All who have tried it,acknowledge its superiority;
and where its virtues are known, no one hesitates
as to what medicine to employ to relieve the dis
tress and suffering peculiar to pulmonary affec
tions. Cherry Pectoral always affords in
stant relief, and performs rapid cures of the
milder varieties of bronchial disorder, as well as
the more formidable diseases of the lungs.
Asa safeguard to children, amid the distress
ing diseases which beset the Throat and Chest of
Childhood, it is invaluable; for, by its timely use,
multitudes are rescued and restored to health.
This medicine gains friends at every trial, as
the cures it is constantly producing are too re
markable to be forgotten. No family should be
without it, and those who have once used it
never will.
Eminent Physicians throughout the country
prescribe it, and Clergymen often recommend it
from their knowledge of its effects.

has nothing in its composition that can possibly in

does not nauseate or gripe, and yet it acts on the
Liver and Bowels just as effectually as Calomel or
any of the preparations of mercury, without injuring
the constitution or debilitating the system. Many
people sutler with Torpid Liver anil Constipated
