rTTHElJreat Preventive Medicine!
Ji. Though Wright's Indian Vegeta-i
bio Pills have achieved triumph upon tri
umph, fa the cure of obstinate esses o
disease, even after1 they had been entiref
ly given up, and after all other remedies
had failed,' yet their power of prevention
may le jtistiy esteemed their -growing
glory ! "Storms., it is said, purify
therair but stormr do mischief also,
and - are so fur an evil. Were it within
human power to maintain the Electrical
equilibrium - between the earth and air,
thercTWM'Jd be no occssion' for storms,
for the air would always be pure. , :
. So of the -human body.' If kept free
fiom morbid humors, the action is regu
lar -and healthy. Hut if those humors
are allowed to accumulate, a crisis, or,
in other words, a storm, will arise, which
is always more or less daugerous. .-.
: Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills are
equally well calculated to prevent the
storm, or lo allay it when it comes. But
prevention is better than cure, besu'es
being cheaper aud less troublesome.
The delay of a day in the commence
ment of sickness has often proved fatal,
and always renders the case more diffi
cult to manage. .
, Let the sickness be caused by chan
ges of weaiher, high living, want of ex
ercise, close confinement, functional de
rangement, or anything else, the effect
upon the body is much the tameis
equally dangerous, and is removable by
the same means.
:'.'.. Have you a cold? Let it not ripen in
to Consumption. Are you Dyspeptic?
Beware of the hypochondria. Two
Pills taken every other night on an emp
ty stomach, for a short time, will, in nine
cases out of ten, cure the Dyspepsia,
and; thereby drive , away the legion . of
"devils blue.". .For Headache, no me
dicine is superior to I 'fright's Indian
Vtgtlahh Pills. Cdstiveness, that pro
lific mother of disease, is caused by a
torpid state of the liver, whieh these
Pills effectually cures. By striking at
the root of disease, Wright's Indian Ve
getable Pills prevent all and cure all.
They can hardly ever be taken amiss, if
used with common discretion; and we
commend them to the use of those who
have not yet tried them.
; Beware of Counterfeits of all kinds;
Some ate coaled with sugar; others are
made to resemble in outward appearance
the original medicine. The safest course
is, to purchase from the regular agents
only, one or more of whom may be
found in every village & town in the state.

Mrs. Adams, 1 25th street, Harlem,
suffered a year with a cough, pain in the
chest, nightsweats. and all the agrava

relieved her till she tried Sherman's
Balsam half a bottle cured her.
ULCERATED LUNGS AND LIVER.
Mr.'E. T. Lawrence, Jackson streel,
Brooklyn, after years of suffering, and
treated by various physicians, was pro
nounced incurable from ulcerated lungs
and liver.
DYING,
as was supposed, he tried the Balsam;
its effects were most miraculous; two
bottles cured him.
PLEURISY AND CONSUMPTION.
. : Mrs. Baggas, residing at 8S Sheriff
street, 70 years old, has been subject to
attacks of pleurisy and consumptive
coughs for years. The Balsam has
saved her from very great suffering.
ASTHMA AND CONSUMPTION.
L J. Beals, 89 Delancy-street gave it
to his sister-in-law who had been an in
valid for years from Asthma; to another
considered as in consumption, it re
lieved them at once, so that they travel
led several hundred miles.
SPITTING BLOOD
Is always alarming. It leads to the
worst kind of Consumption, and unless
arrested in time is generally fatal. Sher
man's All-Healing Balsam is the best
remedy it heals the wounded or ruptured
blood vessels of the lungs, and thereby
effects a permanent cure, while other
remedies only stop the blood for some
time. A few doses of this Balsam will
satisfy the most skeptical that it is the
medicine required It has been success
ful in many cases, and that too where
they bad run into a rapid decline, or, as
more generally eipressed, "HASTY
CONSUMPTION." Young penons,
or those of middle age, are more subject
to these attacks than the aged.

Consumption of the Lungs, .
WISTAR'S BALSAM OF WILD
CHERRY A compound Ba
samie preparation from Wild Cherry
Bark and Tar the best remedy known
to the world for the cure of Coughs,
coIJs, asthma, croup, bleeding of the
lungs, whooping cough, - bronchitis, in
fluenza, shortness of breath, pain and
weakness in the breast or side," liver
complaint and first stages of consump
tion. . .
We will not assert that this Balsam
will cure Consumption io its very worst
form, but it has cured many after all
other means of relief had been tried in
vain. And why not? It seems that
WILD CHERRY was designed by Na
ture to be our PAN ECE A for the ravagin
disease of this cold latitude. Let not ihe
despairing invalid waste his money and
lose time, to him so all important, in ex
perimenting with the trashy nostrums of
the day, but use at once a medicine that
will cure, if a cure be possible a medi
cine that science approves, and many
years of , experience has demonstrated
that it always relieves.
' There is no such thing as fa'tV in
the history of this wonderful BALSAM.
Evidence the most canvincing- evidence
that no one could doubt, fully establish
es this fact. For the sake of brevity we
select the following from thousands.
Isaac Piatt Esq., Editor of the Poogh
keepsie Eagle, one of ihe roost influen
tial Journals in the state of New York,
states, under the authority of his own
name, that a young lady, a relative of
his, of very delicate constitution was at
tacked in February, 1842, with severe
cold, which immediately produced spil
ling of blood, cough, fever, and other
dangerous and alarming symptons
Through medical treatment and care she
partially recovered during the summer.
But on the return of winter she was at
tacked more violently than at first, she
became scarcely able to walk, and was
troubled with cough, chills, and fever
every day, and appeared to be goinj
rapidly with Consumption ; at this time,
when there was no sine of improvement,
Mr. Piatt procured a bottle of WIS
TAR'S BALSAM OF WILD CHER
RY, which she look, and it seemingly
restored her. She got a second, and be
fore it was half laken she was restored
to perfect health, which she has enjoyed
to the present time, without the slight
est symptons of her former disease.
The following we have just received
from Messrs. Fall, McCracken & Co.
agents for the sale of Wistar's Balsam
of Wild Cherry, at Lancaster, Ohio.
To the Public. feel it my duty ait
an act of kindness to the afflicted, to in
form them what Wistar's Balsam of wild
Cherry has done for my daughter.
There is many a parent who has given
up a beloved daughter or son, as a prey
to that fell destroyer consumption. They
have, as I have done, tried all the most
skilful and eminent physicians wjthin
their knowledge, and all of the most
popular remedies that seemed to hold
out some hope for a continuance of life,
wttbout getting any relief. 5C7To all
such who, like me, have been seeking
with trembling hope fr some remedy of
real efficiency, I would say, seek no
farther but iry at once Dr. Wistars1 Bal
sam cf Wild Cherry. My daughter Sai
rah Jane, aged 17 years, whose life for
months had been dispaired of, and was
supposed a sure prey to consumption,
has been cured ; restored lo perfect
health ; and that too bv usin five bot
tles of Dr. WISTAR'S BALSAM OF
WILD CHERRY.
