DIR. SWAYNE'S
Compound Syrup of Wild Cherr,


DR.. Swayne-Dr. Sir. l feel it debt of gratitude
due you-and duty to the afflicted generaliy-toi
offer nv humble testimony in favor of your Com
pound Syrup of Prunus Virginia, alias Wild Cher
ry or rather of its medicinal virtues. Some three
years since was violently attacked with cold and
inflammation of the lungs, which was accompanied
with a very distressing cough, pain in the breast
and head, very considerable discharge OF oiten-
sive mucus from the lungs, frequent from them
especially upon changes of weather however slight.
At first, felt no alarm about my condltien, but
was pretty soon convinced that Bas rapidly go
ing into consumption; | grew daily weaker, and
at length, was scarcely able to walk about, or
speak above a whisper, such was the exceeding
weakness of my lungs. During this time had
tried various preparations and prescriptions, but
found no reIief-growing all the time worse
Just here was advised and persuaded by dear
friend in Wilmington to make trial OF your Syrup
of Wild Cherry; must confess that previously,
had been prejudiced against patent medicines
and am still against those coming out OF the hands
of empires but understanding your claims to the
profession and practice of medicine. and having
implicit faith in the say so of every friend, forth
with purchased of DR.. Shaw, one of your Agents,
a few bottles and commenced its use. My disease
al this time. was of 20 or "a months standing.
consequently deeply seated. 1t therefore, re-
auired time and a number OF bottles to effect
cure in my cssc; l found, however, considerable
relief from the use of the first or bottles. But
being public speaker, frequently attempted to
preach with my Increasing strength and health,
and thereby rupured those vessels that bad alrea-
DIV began TO heal; in this way, doubtless, my cure
was greatly retarded. In consequence OF acting
thus imprudently had to use II or Is bottles be-
fore was perfectly restored. have no question
! a much smaller Number of bottles would have made
me sound but for the above lndlscretlon. ne
syrup allayed the feverish habit, done away the
distressing cough, put stop to the discharge OF
matter from the lungs. and gave them, and theen
tire systsm, good health. Thanks be to God, who
is the source of all health, and to Dr. Swayne for
| it, would recommend this Syrup to all persons
who NAV be effected with colds, cough or con-
sumption, verify believe, it will cure consumption
in the first and second stages and in the last will
give ease and prolong life. 1t is an excellent
medicine in cases of whooping cough, and is so
verv pleasant to the taste that children will cry Tor
it. | have deferred offering this Certificate till
now, for the purpose of being perfectly satisfied
with the permanencv of the cure, and now that
feel perfectly well. offer it with pleasure.
