WILD CHERRY
COnsumptivcs, or those whose lungs are affected
slightly, should take this Syrup without delay, by
ease fully and firmly. How important then, to
avoid it. Never live a day with a cough when this
Syrup can be had, and you are nearly certain,
with proper care, to avoid destruction by Consump-
ton.
DIR. SWAYNE'S COMPOUND SYRUP OF
WILL CHERRY was the first prepar alton from
that valuable tree which was ever introduced to the
public, and ample proof is afforded of its success
by the country being flooded with " BaIsams,"
Candies" and Mixtures'' of Wild Cherry, not
one of which is prepared by a regular ph sician,
although they have assumed the names of respccta-
bic physicians TO give currency to their " Nos
trums." And there is an "ImpOstor'' who has
come out within o few days, with a COMPOUND s VIZ
up of Wild Cherry, %clinging still closer to the origi
nal name. that persons might he deceived if they
did not bear in mind the nJme of DR.. SWAYNE
Therefore the public should be on their guard. aud
not have n worthless mixture palmcd upon them
for the original and genuine preparation, which is
only prepared by DR.. SWAYNE, N. w Corner of
Eighth and Race streets, Philadelphia
G5-The pubic are requested 10 rcmcmber that it
is DR.. Swaync's Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry,
that has and is repeatedly performing such mirac-
ulous cures of diseases which have baf1cd the skill
of tho Profession, and set al defiance the whole cat
alogue of Patent Medicines. which arc daily pulled
through the organs of the press. Therefore ask for
DIR: Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry,
and purchase none other.
