Nature in every moot of ber works, has left indelli ble minks of adaptation and design. The constitution of the animals and vegetables of the ton id, is such that they could nut endure the cold of the frigid zone, and vice versa. In regard to disease and its cure, the adaptation is more or less striking. The Move of lerlind, the Wifd Cherry and Pine, of all Northern latitudes, (and Dr. Wistar's Balsam is compound and chemical estrum from these.) have lone been celebrat NI Inc complaint• prevalent only in cold climates. Indeed the moat distinguished medi cal men have averred that nature furnishes in every country medicines for its peculiar diseases. Consumption in its contitrned ■nd incipient stages, Coughs, Asthma, Croup, and Liver complaint, form by far the most fatal class of diseases known to our land. Yet even these may be cured, by means of the simple vet powerful remedies, once above, and which are scattered. by ■ bene6cient Providence, wherever those maladies prevail.

Through their solicitations I •as imluced to make use of the Genuine Wistar's Balsam 1.1 Wild Cherry. The effect was truly astonishing. After five years of affliction, pain anti suffering; and after having spree four or five hundred &diarist,' no purpose and the best and most respectable physicians had proved unavailing. I was soon restored to entire health by the blessing of God •nd the use of Dr. Wistar'.
