Frightening Invalids. ,

The popular impression, strengthened by
some scientific opinions that consumption
cannot be cured, has no doubt fastened the
death of many inyalids, by deprving them of
the consolation of hope. Persons afflicted
with pectoral disease should be supported by
every assurance OF cure, not alarmed by
the gloomy forebodiug countenances of those
around. For our part, we do not believe
that consumption is incurable, and let physi
clans theorize as they will, we have mass
of evidence to prove that persons having all
the symptoms Of consumption, cough, deep,
bloody expectora'ion, pain and oppression,
sore throat, diarrh@a, night sweats, burning
ing fever, &c, have been permanently cured
by "Dr. Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild
Cherry" This old standard remedy is pre-
pared only BY DR.. Swayne & Son, Philadel-
pha Price 25 cents and 81, or six bottles

cal. Sold by all prominent druggists. Sold
