WISTMVS BALSAN OF
WILD CHERRY,
THE GREAT REMEDY FOR CONSUMPTION
And the best Medicine known to Arawfdr she rurenf
Asthma, of every stage, Liver Complaints, limn
' chills, Influenza, Coughs, Coulds, Bleeding df
the Lungs, Shortness of Breath, pains aad
weakness in the side, breast, &c.,
and all other diseases of the
Pulmonary Organs:
A, VERY important disease over which this 'Balsam'
Cams a very poWerful influence, is that of a DIS
EASED LIV.EIt: In this complaint it has undoubtedly
proved more efficacious than any remedy huherto em
placed, and in numerems instances when patients had
endured long mid severe suffering from the disease;
without receiving the least benefit from various reme
dies, add 'WhetcMERCUBY has been resorted to in
vain, the use of this Balsam has restored the „LIVER
to a healthy action, and in many Instances effected
PERMANENT CURES, 'aftlir every Cpown remedy
had failed to produce this effect.
- lies ides-its astonishing e ffi cacy in the disease above
mentioneil, we also find a very effectual remedy in
ASTDM A. a camplaini in which it has been extensive
ly lova with decided success, even in cases of years
standing,.
It not only emanates from a regular Physician, but
has also been well tested in all the complaints for'
which it is recommended. It'-iS- nut'iny intention',
therefore,.ehher to COM,: it in mystery, or in any 'was
s deceive the public by overrating its virtues ;" on the
contrary, I shall simply endeavor to give a brief state-
F'ment of its u-,-fulness,-and flatter myself that its ur
prising efficacy will enable 'me to 'furnish such pi nofs
of its virtues as will satisfy the most incredulous, that
Consumption may and *CAN BE CURED,• if this medi•
due be resorted to in 'time. • • '
Poughkeepsie: N.Y. Sept. 19, 1845.
Mr. Seth W. Fowle
.Dear Sir:—The character of Wistar's Balsam rly
Wild Cherry is so well established throughout the
country, and especially .the Stale of Nov' Yolk,.
that any further testimony would seem to he entire.-
,tary. Yet I have derived so much advantage from it
that lam happy to communicate through vou to the
sickand afflicted.what it has done. for me and I consider
it a privilege and duty to do so. I have been troubled
with weak lungh for four years; had a cough more
or less every winter. I was confined to the house all
last4tioter_with a severe cough, pain in the side and
mast; raised blood several times. I consulted a phy-.
sician, but have never taken any medicine which has
done me so much good as WISTAR'S BALSAM OF
WILD CIIERRY. I consider it the BEST medicine in
the world - for Colds, Coughs, and Pulminary Com
plaints. WILLIAM B. SWART'S.
OPINION OF A REGULAR PHYSICIAN.
Eater, Me., Sept. Sc), 1815.
This certifies that I have rectinimended the use of
WU...PAWS BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY for disea
ses of the Lungs, for two year past, and many.bottles
'ln 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.

medicine, are, in every respect, - TRVE.'
BEWARE or COUNTERFEJTS ANT IMITATIONS. --The
unparalleled amt .- astonishing efficacy of Dr. Wistar's
Balsam of Wild Cherry in all the diseases for whieh if
is recommended, curing many' eases after the skill of
the beat physician's was unavailing, has effected a'
large and' increasing demand for it. This, fact 'has

dough er, aged eleven, "put up your beads and
trinkets, and prepare for bed—it's almost eight

"Indeed, ma, I cannot afford to do any such
- thing as to-go to bed 'so soon," replied the 'young
lady, "I'm entirely too old to he talked to 'in such
girlish language, and besides, Mr. Kingston iirto
be here at half past eight, there's his card in the
rack now."
Mrs. Henderson WEIS dumt, in astonishment', for
a few moments after. her womanish daughter had
done speaking, and prompted by 'curiosity, shed.
amined the card rack, and sure enough the "com
pliments of Mr. George Kingston" were there in
old English, letters on a beautiful 'embossed card. ,
-Mr. George Kingston had just turned• his 4.3111.

time with this littbiemblem of the children's pre

herself near Miss-Helen, she resurned.the conver
satien by saying .
" And so George Kingston is to be he . re - 1 - 1 haft

" Yes, child, I remember that .yoe've been to

George Kingston, I suppose."
" Yes, ma, you know there's always a few mo

dies and gentlemen proinenade and talk about the
weather and d thousand pretty things."
• "And what sort of pretty - things do you and
George Kingston talk about 1"-
.
"George Kingston ! Ma, it's Mr . King,ton, he's
as much right to he called Mr. as any body. He
rationed Henry Cuthbert fur slighting me in the
waltz and
,f don't like to hear him spoken of dis

'.Nighty tighty, Miss Henderson ! and so I !nip.
pose we may expect a courtship soon !"
"Courtship, indeed ! we, are not so foolish as, to
waste time in,courtship, I can tell you madanf--
and if you must know it, we have been engaged
these two months."
This was a secret worth knowing, and Mris.
Hendersdn,as soon as she received the information,
rompled by curiosity. determined to await the ar•
'rival of Mr. George Kingston, to see how these
youthful lovers would demean themselves in her
presence. In doe time the little:hero was armour,-
ced, and after a few handsome flourishes of his sil
ver topped cane, he seated himself and began to
play the man.. '
"How do you like -the manner in which Miss
' Fustion" brihaved the other evening, Miss Helen?"
asked the infant wooer.
! "At the hallL.:o horrible, she's the most ill
behaved young lady in the world, and she'i; to be

"What ere you talking about child I" asked the
mother, lifting her eyes' from a book which she.was
pretending to read, though in truth she had been
a listener In all that bad been said, and a trial
was to her to preserve her gravity during the very
animated and interesting,discussion.
"yhy," said Mr.l.leorge Kingston. ••I have in.
viten . Miss. 'Helen to go and. Pee the -RaJels, and
.she requests that you will accompany us; Madam
will you be so kind?"
yes, ma, do, it wil he so fine, you on one
side 00Ir. Kingston, and lon the other; I guess
Miss Fustion and 'Miss St..Eustsce,would feel
very flat; both their mothers forbid their beaux
coming to their houses any more, ; and they are
obliged to meet away front home—do, ma, go with
us, will you ?"
Mrs. Henderson had been eyiedingly amused
at their chitchat, and she coed scarcely suppress
a smile when she remembered that nthey had been
engaged these two months ;". truly. thought she,
they will make - a lovely couple, he thirteen and she
eleven,,and they conversing with as much interest
and freedom as if they were twenty ; she laid her
book aside for a moment, and soberly exclaimed.;
. "Well, I wonder.what this world is coming to,,
The little lovers were completely thrown nth the
track of their tete-a-tete, for it was evident that the
surprise of Helen's mother had arisen from their
conversation. and her movement had too much
meaning in it.for them to `re mistaken:- Miss He
len looked at her mother with a fearful frown. and
Mr. George Kingston shrugged - up his. shoulders
and looked towards his hat. Diseration on his part
was doubtless the better part of valor :
For he who lover and rune away,
May live to love another day.
. _ .
And aftc: he had flourished his silver mounted
cane, , and pulled hi: watch .from his pocket, and
adjusted his stock and collar, he arose to take his
departure. , . .
From. that time forth, Miss Helen was forced to
,retire to hed at eight o'clock !
LOAFERS.—The following story, told of
Franklin's mode of treating the animal called in
those days, 'Loungers,' isworlb . putting intopme
tice.perasionally, even in this age and generation
Onefine morning, type Pranklin was busy
inr'
. preparing his newspaper for press , a 'lounge
stepped into the'store, and spent an hour or more
in looking over the hooks. &c. end finally taking
one in liq hand asked the shop•boy the ,price.
_ 'One dollar.' was the answer. •
"One doller !' said .thelounger; 'can't you take
less than that 'l' -
'No, indeed ; one dollar is the )!rice:
Another hour had nearly pasted, iihen the
'lounger' asked; '
•

'Yes, he is in the printing Qince- • • :
'I want to see bim,l said the 'lounger.' -.
The shop•buy inynediatelyl informed Mr. Frank
lin that a eentleman was in the store waiting .to
see him. Franklin' was soon behind the counter,
when the 'lounger,' with. the hook in his hand ad
dressed him thus :—'Mr. Franklin whatds the low
est you can take fur . this
'One duller and a quartet,' was the ready
an
ewer.:—
'One doll* and a . 4uarter? Why, your young
man asked only a dollar.' '
"true,' said Franklin—qiiiif I could have heter
afforded to take a dollar then, than' to have been
called out; of the offiee.' ,
.The •lounger' seemed siarprised,:iind wishing
to end

'.Come, Mr. Franklin .1.11 me, w te s tis the low.

'One dollar and alkalf.'
•A dollar and a inklf ! why you offered it your
self for a dollar and a Runner.' •
'YeaLsaid-Franklin, 'and I . had better taken
that price; than a dollar and a half flow.'
The 'lounger' paid down the price, and went
about his business—if he had any.

ty.. At length, after the !apse of some weeks, the
clerkmdsterevi courage enough to address Mr. G.
upon tie subject.
• I suppose, sir,' said the clerk, .1 am now free ;
and I thought I would Pay 'something to you as
to my future course. What do you, thinkl had
better do V .
Yes, I know yin , are free,' said Mr. G., and
my advice to you is, that you go' and learn the
cooper's trade.' '
This announcement well nigh threw the clerk
off the track, but, recovering his equilibrium, he
said if - Ntr:G.svas in earnest, he would do so. .'
- ,
am in earnest,' said Mr. G.; and the clerk,
rather h-rsitatingV, sought one of the best coopers,
agreed• upon the terms of apprenticeship, and
went at itr.in earnest. In process of time,' the
young 'cooper !became master of his tratie,,and
coold 'make,et ; good a harrel as any other cooper,
He went and told Mr. G. that be had, graduated
with nil the honors of the craft, ovd was , ready,to
set up hie business; at' which the old men seem
ed much gratified, and told hint to make three of
the best bar!rels he could get up. - The young
cooper selected the choicest materials, and soon
put in shapp and finished • his three barrels, and
wheeled them up to the old Maria counting room.
Mr. G. said the" barrels were first-rate, and deman
ded the price. ,
'One dollar,' said the clerk, -, isas low as I can
live •
.Cheap enough,' said his employer; 'make out
your bill and present it.
And now comes the cream of the whole. Mr.
G. drew a check for $20,000, and handing it to
the clerk-cooper, closed with these words :
.There, take that, and invest it in the best floe
'tibia way, and if you are unfortunate and lose it,
you have a good trade to fall back upon, which
will afford you a good living at all times.'
