A PHYSICIANS REMEDY

For affections of the Lungs. Sh0yfneSs of Breath, DC.
.t,.-G- Sussex County, N. J., Nov. 8, 1s47.
Dear Sir have been induced, in consequence of the
benefit received from your medicine, to add my testimony
in favor of its extraordinary healing properties. Having
been afflicted for several months with a severe lung dis
case, under which iahored with shortness of breath and
great bodily weakness. l was recommended by a physi-
sian at Hacksrstown, N. j., to try DIR. Wistar's BaIsam
of Wild Cherry, which not only gave me relief, but re-
and energy to my system. | can therefore cheerfully re-
commend to all afflicted with Lung Diseases to try this
Balsam of Wild Cherry Respectfully, yours,
ht THEODORE j. ALLEN. i.
This medicine is regarded by Physicians and Druggists
as the standard remedy for diseases of the Lungs and
chest, or for coughs aud colds, in their severe or mild
forms. Read the following letter from an eminent physi-
clan and extensive druggist:

medicines have not confidence sufficient to recommend
them until they are thoroughly tried, aud they then often
come out worthless. Such is not the case with Wistar's
Balsam of Wild Cherry. ut acts like a charmn' as my
customers often remark, and my experience can testify.
Yours truly, JOSEPH j. fouNGLovE.

Many years OF trat. instead OF impairing the
public confidence in this medicine, has won for it
an appreciation and notorjeIy by far exceeding the
most sangulne expectations of Its friends. Moth
ing but its intrinsic virtues and the unmistakable
benefit conferred on thousands of sufferers. could
originate and maintain the reputation it enjoys
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community, have failed and been discarded, this
has gained friends by every trial, conferred bene-
fits on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro-
duced cures to- numerous and too remarkable to
be forgotten.
While II is a fraud on the public to pretend that
any ore medicine will infallibly cure, still there is
abundant proof that the Cherry Pectoral does not
onl, as a general thing, but almost invariably cures
the maladies for which it is employed.
AS time makes these facts wider and better
known, this medicine has gradually become the
best reliance of the afflicted, from the log-cabin of
the American Peasant to the palaces Of European
Kings. Throughout the entire country, in every
State. city, and indeed almost every hamlet it
contains. Cherry Pectoral is known as the best re-
medy for diseases of the Th'oat and Lungs, and
in many foreign CO ,ntries it is coming to be ex-
t~ensively used by the most intelligent physicians.
In Great Britain, France and Germany, where the
medical sciences haNe reached their highest per-
fiction, Cherry Pectoral is introduced, and in con-
slant use in the armies, hospitals, aims houses,
public institutions, and in domestic practice, as the
surest remedy tnelf ATTENDING physicians can en-
pioy for the more dangerous affections of the
Lungs. Also in milder cases and for children, it
is safe, pleasant and e~fectual to cure. In fact,
some OF the most f%atterins testimonials that we
receive have been from parents who have found
it eficacious in cases particularly incidental to
childhood. :
The Cherry Pectoral is manufactured by a prac-
teal chemist, and every ounce of it under his
own eye, with invariable accuracy and care. 1t
is sealed and protected by law from counterfeits,
consequently can be relied on as genuine without
adulteration.
We have endeavored here to furnish the COM
nnunity with a medicine of such intrinsic superb
ority and worth as should commend itself IL. their
confdence-a'remedy at once safe, speedy and eff
f%ectual, which this has by repeated and countless
trials proved itself to bel and trust by great care
in preparing it with chemical accuracy. of uni
form strength to afford Physicians a new agent on
which they can rely for the best results, and the
afflicted with a remedy that will do for them all
that medicine can do.

Childhood.

Childhood.
..8 By aEoRaE D. PRENTICE.
IT'S sad yet sweet, to listen
To the soft winds gentle swell,
And think we hear the music
Our childhood loved SO well;
To gaze out on the even, n..
And the boundless fields Of air,
And feel again our boyhood's wish,
To roam like angels there.
There are many dreams of gladness
That cling around the past,
And from the tomb of feeling,
Old thoughts come thronging fast,
The forms we loved so dearly,
In the happy daysnow gone,
The beautiful and lovely,
So fair to look upon.
Those bright and gentle maidens,
Who seemed sc formed for bliss,
Too glorious and too heavenly
For such a world as this!
Whose dark soft eyes seemed swimming
In a sea Of liquid light;
And whose locks of god were streaming
Ger brows SO sunny bright.
Like the brightest beds of summer
They have fallen from the stem;
Yet oh! it is a lovely dream,
.s,d To fade from earth like them.
And yet the thought is saddening,
To muse on such as they,
And feel that all the beautiful
Are passing swift away!
That the fair ones whom we love,
Grow to each loving breast,
Like tendrils of the clinging vine,
And perish where they rest.
