GOOD HEALTH

Is boon that comparatively few can boast
OF. Those who have enjoyed uninterrupted
health for series of years Imagine Themselves
to be proof against disease, and are careless
with their diet and their dress Indeed, too
many Of them are sowing the seeds Of consump-
ton. At first the slight but constant cough
attracts no attention. but it Is only when the
disease increases in violence that II begins to
excite suspicion. Tho malady should at once
be checked, and for this purpose no remedies
equal Dr.. SsayHe's Compound Sprap of
Wild Cherry and SarsapariHa and Tar Pills. u
They cleanse the stomach, relax the liver and
put 1t to work; then the appetite becomes
good the food digests aud makes good blood,
the patient begins to grow in flesh ; the dis.
eased matter ripens In the lungs, and the pa
tent outgrows the disease and gets we'll This
is the only way to cure consumption.
TO these medicines DR.. Swayne of Phila.

treatment of pulmonary consumption. The
Wild Cherry Syrup" flpens the morbid mat.

show what the Pills can do; nothing has ever
been invented except calomel "a deadly poison
which is very dangerous to use unless with
great care,) that will unlock the gal-bladder,
and start the secretion Of the liver like
Swayne's Pills"
In almost every square Of Philadelphia there
are persons who have been cured of consump.
ton, In its several stages, by the use of CDR
Swayne's Medicine" Many persons have been
restored to health after being confined to
their beds, reduced to mere skeletons, and
troubled with cough, night sweats, hectic .fe-
yer,, and all other indications of an advanced
stage Of disease. II is true that in all cases
where cures are effected the patient must have
sumo lungs remaining, but thousands of

been cured If they had used "Swayne's Com,
