The'CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM is a gentle sti-
mulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life, and
is, therefore, calculated to afford decided relief to those who
have fallen into a state of chronic debility. In such persons
the appetite is generally defective, and the relish of life is al-
most subdued ; they are wanting in that activity of mind
and energy of conduct which their affairs require; and partly
from conscious weakness, partly from excessive apprehen-
sions, are liable to sink despondently into a premature grave.
It is for these that Messrs. Perry and Co., Surgeons, parti-
cularly designed their CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM.
Whatever enriches the blood, without inflaming it ; what-
ever braces without stimulating too violently the nervous
system ;
important organs ; whatever resolves obstructions, and throws
off viscid humours ; whatever strengthens the general habit,
and brings back the muscularfibres to their natural and healthy
tone ; whatever is calculated to produce, in a considerable
degree, all or any of these effects, must be, undercertaiinnl
ditications and restrictions, equally adapted to every species
co late-
orof nature
of decay. Hence, though the Cordial Balm of Syriacum
