THE Sin of Ignorance is easily forgiven. Many of
the "nostrums" of the present day are put out by
persons who have no knowledge ofthe science ofmerli
cine in theory or practice, and in order to hide their ig
norance cry out lousily against the "Ignorant Pretend
era," and bribe others to boast for them, which oft
times has gulkod the unsuspecting, and for want of a
proper knowledge of the diseases they pretend to cure,
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, is
always able to give. We look to the 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 Wild 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
.
tion, &c. Remember always to inquire for the name
of Dr Swayne, as all preparations which have the
name of Wild Cherry attached were stolen from the
great original preparation. The genuine is only
prepared by Dr Swa,yrte. corner of Eighth and Race
