rp II E Sin of Ignorance in rn ih forgiven. Many of
_L the "nostrums" of the presentdny are put out by
persons who have no knowledge ofthe science of tnedi
rine in theory or practice, and in order to hide their ig
norance cry out loudly against the "Ignorant Pretend
ers," and bribe others to boast for them, which oft
times has gulled the unnonpecting. and for want of a
proper knowledge of the diseanes they pretend to core,
no doubt think they cure when they do not, therefore
they are to be pitied, but not half so much as those who
take their "miserable compounds," but they not only
lose their money, but miss the advantage of that ne
cessary advice which the real practical physician, in
always able to give. We look to thn tailor for an im
provement in the mode ofdress; to the medical man for
an improvement in the science of medicine—and this
accounts for the great superiority of Dr Swayne's
Compound Syrup of H'ild Cherry over all other
medicines ever offered to the public for the cure of all
diseases of the Lungs and Breast, Coughs, Colds,
Consumption, Asthma, spitting Blood, Liver Com
plaint, Pain in the Side and Breast, Broken Constitu

of Dr Sirayne. as all preparations which have the
name of Wild Cherry attached were stolen from the

commission him he is willing to act for you. You can
send the medicine by water to the care of Robert King
