the excellence Of these medicines, added to
our desire to avoid the Just prejudice of the
medical profession against secret and guck nos.
trums, induced us to adopt this candid course.
We append few Of the notices we have re-
ceived from Physicians. viz:
From DR.. Wm H. FGyro,r, Of Snov Hill, Nd
'Gentlemen-I have frequently in my pras.
tice prescribed your 'Stabler's Anodyne Cher.

great satisfaction to myself and to the entire
relief Of such diseases as they profess to cure.
consider them happy combinations Of some
Of our most valuable and safe theraputical
agents, and must be Of infinite worth to the
afflicted and mankind at large. In furnishing
the medical profession with these active and
concentrated preparations, so convenient for
administration, and of a standard quality,
you have rendered them an eminent service.
and can do no less than earnestly recommend
these preparations to practitioners, and espe.
cially in the country, where the impurity Of
commercial Drugs is one of the greatest o6sta.
clcs to the success Of the fhysioisu."
From Geo. Gerry n. d., of Somerset co., Na
"Gentlemen-I have used many Of the diff.
ferent Cherry Expectorants, and do assure
You that yours far crceeds any have ever tried
Wehave been favored with q written certi6.
cate, cheerfully given by numerous Medical

which alone should convince the most doubt
ing, that these are really Good Medicines :"
after stating that they are acquainted with
the composition of both the Expectorant and
Cordial, and that they have administered them
to their patients, they testify "that they arc
remedies Of great ralue, safe, Efficient and relR
rorthy Of the patronage Of the Profession and
the Public, that they are more reliable than
any other proprietary medicines with which
we are acquainted" &c.
The above notices Of recommendation from
members of the Medical Faculty, should be
sufficient to satisfy all, that these medicines
are rorthy Of trial by the afflicted, and that
they are Of different stamp and class from
