MEDICINAL USES OF THE WILD CHEaRy.-LEver
since the settlement Of America, Wild Cherry.
has been known to possess very important medic
inal virtues. Everybody knew this fact. but mo-
body knew how to extract its essential properties
Everymother gives Wild Cherry tea to her chill
dTen for worms. for colds, and for almost every
disease; and adults throughout our country are
IN the habit OF making comr ould OF syrup OF
Wild Cherry bark and other ingredients, to be
used in spring as an antidote to Complaints Incl
dent to that changeful season. 1t is found by
experiment that the wild cherry possesses even
far more important qualities than was assembled 10
it. For the first stage of Consumption, Asthma,
no matter how long standing, Coughs, Liver
Complaints, etc., IL is proved 10 be the best med
icine known to man. Dr.. Wistar's Basam Of
Wild Cherry is chemical extract, combined with
a similar extract from Tar, which enhances its
value. Itssuccess in curing pulmonary diseases,
in almost every stage, after our best physicians
could do no more, has astonished the Faculty,
and led them to confess that Wistars Balsam Of
Wild Cherry possesses principle heretofore un.
