DIR. Syayne's compound syrup OF
wild Cherry.

Dfs S4ayhhe's compound yFWp De
wild Cherry.
OF all the remedies oil the day, and they
are great variety, which profess to be OF
great value 10 the human family I'VE hesitate
not To pronounce DR.. Swayne's Compound
syrup Of Wild Cherry as one oi the great.
est discoveries of modern science. OF all
the many compounds put forth for the cure
Of diseases which affect human nature, not
one remedy could be named which has in
SO short space of time acquired such I'M
bounded confidence with the public, and
has performed such miraculous cures; and
has merited and received SO much eulogium
from the faculty and others, as this justly
celebrated remedy.
BE CAREFUL OF YOUR COLDS.
Many people are very apt 10 consider a
cold but a tridiag matter, and think that dit
will go away eff itself in few days." ard
they give themselves no trouble about it,
But to such we would say, "be careful OF
your colds" do not tamper with youi cons
sliutions. II you desire to live to a good
old age,o use such remedies as will effect
an casv and permanent cure. Dr. Swayne's
Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry has
cured more Colds than any other medicine
offered for sale 10 tnis country. The certi-
icates oil cures effected by this invaluable
medicine, which, the proprietor is daily
receiving, are of the most gratifying cha>
racter, and tend to show its sanative pro-
peries and the high stand it holds in public
estimation. a

women Of this city. the more We admire
them, and il we were pleased on tirst be-
holding them we are now in perfect rap

one OF us who have passed through un-
scathed the temptations of other places
