recommend to the attention of heads Of families and
others your invaluable medicine-the Compound
Syrup Of runus Virginiana, or Wild Cherry Bark.
In my travels Of late, have seen, in great many
instances, the wonderful effects Of your medicine in
relieving children Of very obstinate complaints such
as Coughing, Wheezing, Choking Of Phlegm, Asth-
matte attacks, &C., &c. | should not have written
this letter, however, at present. although have felt
it my duty to add my testimony to it for some time,
had it not been for late instance where the medi
cine above alluded to was instrumental in restoring
to perfect health an /" only child" whose case was
almost hopeless, in family of my acquaintance. ~
thank Heaven, said the doatlng mother, ssmy child
is saved from the jaws Of death" and now say and
believe that beyond all doubt, DR. Swaynes Com
pound Syrup of Wild Cherry is the most valuable
medicine in tins or any other country. am certain
have witnessed more than one hundred cases where
it has been attended with complete success am
using it myself in obstinate attack of Bronchitis in
which it proved cffectual in an exceedingly short
time, considering the severity Of the case can re-
commend it in the fullest confidence of its superior
virtues; would advise that no family should be
without it it is very pleasant and always beneficial
worth double, and often ten times its price, The
public are assured there is no qnackery about it.
