Debility, and Disorders arising from an Impure State of

The CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM is a gentle
stimulant 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 almost 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 appre-
hensions, are liable to sink despondently into a premature
grave. It is for these that Messrs. PERRY and Co.,
Surgeons, particularly designed their CORDIAL BALM of
SYRIACUM.

Whatever enriches the blood, without inflaming it ; what-
ever braces without stimulating too violently the nervous
system ; whatever frees and disburdens the viscera and other
important organs ; whatever resolves obstructions, and
throws off viscid humours ; whatever strengthens the general
habit, and brings back the muscular fibres to their natural
and healthy tone ; whatever is calculated to produce in a
considerable degree, all or any of these effects, must be,
under certain modifications and restrictions, equally adapted
to every species of decay. Hence, though the Cordial Balm
of Syriacum makes a direct attack upon the many-headed
hydra in one quarter only, it will be found to apply indirectly
or collaterally, to almost every other; in short, the debility
of nature can be completely reinstated by this excellent me-
dicine, for its reanimating powers exceed almost credibility ;
its fine,` rich, (stimulating balsamic stomachic qualities—its
purification of the blood—and, above all, the complete invi-
gorator of the nervous system, whereby the whole faculties
become restored to their proper power and functions, and
the fallen fabric of life is raised up to beauty, consistency,
and duration, upon the ruins of an emaciated and premature
decay, to sound and pristine health.

As nothing can be better adapted to help and nourish the
constitution, so there is nothing more gene' ally acknow-
ledged to be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastings,
loss of appetite, indigestion, depression of spirits, trembling
or shaking of the hands or limbs, obstinate cough, shortness
of breath, or consumptive habits. It possesses wonderful
efficacy in all cases of syphilis, fits, head-ache, weakness,
heaviness and lowness of spirits, dimness of sight, confused
thoughts, wanderings of the mind, vapours, and melancholy ;
and all kinds of hysteric complaints are gradually removed
by its use.
Constitutions relaxed, weak, or decayed, in men or women,
are under its immediate influence. Old coughs, asthmas,
and consumptive habits are soon relieved, and speedily
cured. Poverty of blood, and emaciated limbs, will, ere
long, meet the happiest change ; the chill, watery fluid will
become rich and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with
flesh, firm and healthy.
Sold in Bottles, price lls. each, or the quantity of four in
one Bottle for 335., by which one lls. Bottle is saved.
Messrs. PERRY expect, when consulted by letter, the usual
fee of one pound, without which no notice whatever can be
taken of the communication (postage pre-paid.)
PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIPIC PILLS,
Price 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., and lls. per box,
Warranted not to contain Copaiba, Cubebs. or Mercury.
Are of the utmost importance to those afflicted with Scor-
butic Affections, Eruptions in any part of the body, Ulcera-
tions or Scrofulous Taint, Pimp, &c., being justly calculated
to cleanse the blood from all foulness, counteract every morbid
affection, and restore weak and emaciated constitutions to
pristine health and vigour.
Messrs. Perry and Co., Surgeons, may be consulted, as
usual, at No. 9, Berners-street, Oxford-street, London, and
4, Great Charles-street, (four doors from Easy-row,) Bir-
mingham, punctually from Eleven in the Morning until
Eight in the Evening, and on Sundays from Eleven till One.
Only one personal visit is required from a country patient,
to enable Messrs. Perry and Co. to give such advice as will
be the means of effecting a permanent and effectual cure,
after all other means have proved ineffectual.
N.B.—Country Druggists, Booksellers, Patent Medicine
Vendors, and every other shopkeeper can be supplied with
any quantity of Perry's Purifying Specific Pills, and Cordial
Balm of Syriacum, with the usual allowance to the Trade, by
