THE celebrated Cordial BALM of SYRIACUM, or
NATURE'S GRAND RESTORATIVE.
There is nothing more remarkable in the social habits of
the present day, and more particularly in those of the past
century, than a general disregard to the maxims of prudence
in regard to health and enjoyment. Hence the vast multi-
tudes who, having acquired the portion of an enfeebled con-
stitution, are doomed to the class of habitual invalids. Their
minds anxious, unsteady, or sluggish, and their bodies
weak, the natural functions of life are discharged laboriously,
with pain and difficulty. For this state of nervous derange-
ment, the celebrated
CORDIAL BALM OF 11YRJACIJM
will be found to have peculiar efficacy, strengthening the lan-
guid system and shedding new hope on the mind. A perse-
verance in its use has been the happy means of relieving
many thousands, and of restoring a great number to the per-
manent enjoyment of life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in
all disorders of the digestive organs, and is especially recom-
mended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age,
habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have
fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing
train of symptoms commonly denominated the NERVOUS.
In such- persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the
corporeal, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, with-
out interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable.
Its primary object is to relieve those persons who, by an
immoderate indulgence in their passions, have ruined their
constitutions and brought on a perfect tabis dorsalis ; or, in
their way to the consummation of that deplorable malady,
the affected with any of those previous symptoms that betermay,
its approach, as the various affections of the nervous system,
obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses,ci. gu
larity, weakness total impotency, barrenness. Bu.t
the relief the CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIAUOnueSI:
nerally administers is not confined to these alone
the
latitudinarian by birth, who has received f
the rame_his parents
the inheritance of a diseased and unproliii,ct
inactive
life,
together
deli-
cate female, whom an immured andeitihae,r
weak and watery
with an immoderate use of tea and other
on all the
aliments, has, without any fault of hers,
broughthabit, and are, with-
calamitous symptoms of a consumptive
out timely assistance, sinking into 'premature grave! Such
the Cordial Balm of Sv-
as these, under Divine Influence, of all the comforts of
riacuna will restore to the
enjoyment being pleasant to the taste and
life. It is universally admired,
smell, gently as
tringes
which a
the fibres of the stomach, and gives
that proper tensitygood digestion requires.
To the young t will afford lasting health, strength, and
spirits, in place Of lassitude and debility, and to the aged and
infirm it will assuredly furnish great relief and comfort b
gently y
and safely invigorating the system. It will not
give
t, .i
immortality, but if it be in the power of medicine to gild-the
autumn of declining years, and calmly and serenely protract
the close of life beyond its narrow span, this restorative is
capable of effecting this grand desideratum.
The Cordial is highly esteemed in the East and West In-
dies for nourishing and invigorating the nervous systeni and
acting as a general restorative on debilitatedconstitutions,
arising from bilious complaints contracted in hot climates.
The studious as well as the sedentary part of the community
should never be without the Cordial Balm of Syrieceln,
which removes diseases of the head, invigorates the mind,
mproves the memory, and enlivens the imagination.
Sold in bottles, price Ils. each, or the quantity of four in
one Family Bottle for 355., by which one lls. bottle is saved,
duty included.
Prepared only by Messrs. Perry and Co. Surgeons, 22,
