WISTAR'S BALSAM' OF
' WILD. CHERRY,
THE GREAT REMEDY FOR CONSUMPTION
-Afid the best Aledieinr known to .lion for 'he cure of
Asthma, of every stage, Liver Complaints, Bron
chitis, Indio:ilia, Coughs, Coulds, Bleeding of
the Lungs, Shortness of Breath, pains and
weakness in the side, breast, &c.,
and all other diseases of the
Pulmonary Organs.
VERY important disease over which this 'Balsam'
carts a very powerful influence; is that of a DIS
EASED LIVER. In this cotnplaint it has undoubtedly
proved inure efficacious titan any remedy hitherto em
ployed, and in numerous instances when patients had
endured long arta severe suffering. &Om the disease,
without receivir g the least benefit from various reme
dies, and when-MERCURY has been resorted to in
vain,.-the use of this Balsam has restored the I.IVER
to a healthy action,:and in many instances effected
PERMANENT CURES, after every known remedy
had failed ti, produce this effect.
Besides its astonishing eflica'cy in the disease above I
mentinned, we also find it a very effectual remedy in
ASTHMA, a complaint in which it has been extensive
ly used with decided success, even in cases of years
standing.
It noLocly emanates front a regular Physician, but

Mr. Seth W. Fowle :
Dear Sir:-The character of Wistar's Balsam 01
Wild Cherry is so well established throughout the.
country, and especially in the State of New Ye: It,
that any fursher testuaony would seem to be uneces
sary. Yet I have derived no much advantage from it.
that I am happy to communicate throng!' von to the
sickand atllicted.what it has, done for me and I consider
it a privilege and duty to do:so. I have been troubled
with weak lungs for four years ; had a cough more
or less every winter. I was confined to the house all
last winter with a severe cough, pain in the side and
breast ; raised blood several times. I et:mantled a phy
sician, but have never taken any medicine which has
done me so much good as WISTAR'S BALSAM OF
WILD CHERRY. I consider it the BEST medicine iu
Alm world for Colds, Coughs, and Pulminary Com
plaints. WILLIAM B. SWAIITS.
OPINION OF d REGULAR PHYSICIAN:
Etter, Me., Sept. 30, 1815.
This certifies That I have ;recommended the use of
WISTAR'S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY for diaea
ses'of the Lungs. for two year past, and many bottles
to my knowledge have been used by my patients, all
with beneficial results. In two cases where it was
thought confirmed consumption had taken place, the
Wild Cherry.effected a cure.
E. BOYDEN. Physician at Eater Corner.
- 0 QUACKERY! NO DECEPTION!
All published statements of cures performed by this
medicine, are, in every respect, TRUE.
• lICWA ILE OF COUNTERFEITS AND IMITATIONS. --The
unparalleled and astonishing efficacy of Dr. Wilitar's
Balsam of Wild Cherry in all the diseases for which it
is recommended, curing.many 'cases after the skill of
the best physicians was unavailing, has effected. a
large and increasing demand for it: This fact has
caused several unprincipled counterfeiters and finite
tors to palm off spurious mixtures, of similar natne
and appearance; for the genuine Balsam.

SMET TING OF COPPER ORE:—TheNew,
York Tri l bune . contains an• article treating of the
various processes employed in this country and
in Wales, for procur i ng copper ftorn the ore, of
which the following san extract : •
There - are establ4ments for smelting copper.
at Boston and at Baltimore. At Boston the
smeltersave long teen .Oxlensive refiners and
manufacturers of Copper, and they' manufacture
the prodUct of their smelting works. At Balti
more the ores havobeen chiefly obtained from
Cuba; Boston , principally from Cuba and
Chili. The Swanse& (Welsh) method of smelt
ing, with reverberutoy furnaces. both for calcina
tion and reflection, ihas been adopted,- but they,
use equal parts of anthracite and bituminous coal',
At Boston, the Gentian method, with calcination
in the olen air, and sl i eduction in the small upriglit
' blast furnace, with anthracite coal alone, is re
fereed.. dn Baltimoie they have six or eight: fiat.-,
nices itcopeestion, with an experienced manager'
from SWansea. In Boston the arrangements ate
on a rtruch more e'xtentended scale. Freights
from _Cnba, to Bostun.or'New York are much low—
er thatr'from 'Cubt to Wales. It is suggested,
that the best meihod i for smelting would be, as in
England, to darry.the ores to the coil. What is
the nearest place to the mitres on Lake'Superiur,
where there are anthracite coal mines 1 . It is es
. timated that a ton Of anthracite coals will reduce
'two tort's of 20 per cent: ore. Abduts66 are paid
per ton, at Boston, for 20 per cent: ore; freights
from, - .Cutoi ore over $6, and from Chili sls.
We' published an account of the process of smelt
mg copper ore by means of electricity—and
would, aka, ask whether the ore could not be roast
ed in the Lake Superior region in the'open air,
in heaps, with coke or wood, reduced to pig cop
per of 90 per cent. and thus soot to the seaboard
for a market."

• NORTH AMERICAN. INDIANS.—The
acuteness of, the Indian is almost supernatural;'
•he can follOw en animal by indications impercep
tibleeven to an American backwoodsman. His
powers of observation are so perfect that he can
trace on a , iece of bark, with a bit of.charcoal, the
geography of the country he has traversed; and
he will take a direct course to a place hundreds
of miles distant, without the aid of a compass.—
It has ben supposed by some writers that the
savage tribes ofNorth America had no means of
recording events. The wampum belt was gener- -
ally applied to the 'different parts of speech, or the
differet.t articles of a treaty; and on great .oece•
trims, when these belts 'were brought forth,' intli
viduals were found who, from memory or tradi
tion, could explain eash •section of the precious
girdle; but, besides this mode of record, the Mic
mac' and; Melicrites had pictorial representations
of certain events, and communicated information
through 'the. medium of hieroglyphics. Rocks
and trees, in conspicuous situations, have had
Silures eat or engraved upon them, which convey
to the Indian travellers in coecise terms, , the
