Ayer’s Cherry PectoraJ
is the standard family remedy
of the world for colds, coughs
and lung diseases. It is not a
palliative, and is not therefore
put up in small cheap bottles.
It is put up in large bottles
for the household. They cost
more but cure more.
Fads come and go but no
theory or fad can overthrow
the fact, that the greatest cure
for all colds, coughs and throat
and lung diseases, is Ayer’s
Cherry Pectoral.
