CAUTION.
As all medices which become very popular
like that of DR. Smayne,s Chmpound Syrup Of
Wild Cherry, attempts TO Initiate or Counterfeit
in some way. are very frequently resorted to
Therefore it is thought best to put the public on
their guard against Imposition. In the course
ofonly two or three years after this most descr-
vedly popular remedy had introduced itself into
the sick chamber, and its fame become widely
known, up springs several others into the market
and with view to give currency to their new
Inventions they take the name of Wild Cherry
to add to their patched up nostrums, thinking to
borrow reputation from that already established
and to help out still further with the scheme of
deception, by one of the vendors the name of Dr.
Wistar is attached making it appear that this pop
ular and highly respected Physician was the
author ofthis PREPARATION: such is not the fact
Another individual comes out with hat he calls
the Syrup OF Wild Cherry, clinging still closer
to the original name, that individuals might even
be deceived, when they went to purchase, if the
nrme OF DR.. SwAYNE was not always kept In
view Those who apply orthese latter day prep
arations of Wild Cherry, let me tell them, are
tampering with their constitutions, and taking
draughts from the hands of nexperence, which
they would have TO repent, on some future day,
had not put them on their guard.
