lrp HE Sin of Ignorance is easily forgiven. Many of
.1 the "nostrums" of the present day are put out by
persons who have no knowledge ofthe science of medi
eine in theory or practice, and in older 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 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 of dress; to the medical man fur
an improvement in the science of medicine—and this
accounts fur the great superiority of Dr Smayne'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, Coach., Colds,
Consumption, Asthma, spitting Blond, Liver Com
plaint. Pain in the Side and Breast, Broken Constitu
tion, &c. Remember always to inquire for the name
of Dr S wayne. as all preparations which have the
name of ;cad Cherry attached were stolen from the
peat ori,gina/ preparation. The gsnuine is only
prepared by Dr Steagne, corner of Eighth and Race
streets, Philadelphia. For sale hv
