How many sufferers do we ;ally behold approaching to an untimely Brave, wrested in the bloom of youth from heir dear relatives and friends, afflicted with that common and destructive rays ger,called consumption, which soon wasts the miserable sufferer until they become beyond the power of human skill; if such sufferers would only make a trial of Dr. Swayne's invaluable medicine, they would soon find themselves benefitted; than by gulphing the various ineffective certain remedies of which our newspapers daily abound. This syrup immediately begins to heal the ulcerated lungs, stopping pre - fuse night sweats, mititigating the distre! sing cough at Jim same time inducing a healthy and natural expectoration, also le lieving the shortness of breath and pa! n in the chest, which harrass the sufferer c r the slightest exercise, and finally the he tic flash in the pallid and emaciated cheek will soon begin to vanish, and the sufferer will here peceive himself snatched from a premature grave ,into the enjoyment again of comfortable health. $9BOB IT For sale at Jacob Miller's store Hunt ingdon j P. tiq READ il 9 WHAT IT HAS DONE.

Simple as these complaints are usually con sidered, no one can deny their being the most common cause of this fatal and distressing disease. It is indeed a melancholy truth, that thousands fall victims to consumption every year from no other cause than NE GLEC I.'ED COLDS. Yet we find hun dreds, nay thousands, who treat such com plaints with the greatest indifference, and d let them run on for weeks and even months without thinking of the danger. At first you have what you may consider a slight COUGH or COLD; you allow business, pleasure or carelessness to prevent you from giving it any attention, it then settles on your breast, you become hoarse, have pains in the. side or chest, expectorate large quantities of matter, perhaps mixed with blood, a dif ficulty of breathing ensues, and then you find your own foolish neglect has brought on this distressing complaint. If then you value life or health, be warned in time, and don't trifle with your COLD, or trust to no quack nostrum to cure you, but immediately pro cure a bottle or two of that famous remedy the "Balsam of Wild Cherry," which is well known to be the most speedy cure ever known, as thousands will testify whose lives have been saved by it. Be very particular when you purchase to ask for 'l Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cher y," as there is also a syrup of this name in use.

Every mother should, therefore, know its symp toms, watch them closely, and always be prepared with a remedy to cure it, as many ire daily sacrificed by such neglect. At first the little patient is seized with shiver ing; it grows restless, has flashes of heat, the eyes become red and swollen, it breathes with difficulty, and then comes that fearful COUGH that will surely terminate in con vulsions or death unless something is imme diately given to check it. In this complaint ' the "Balsam of Wild Cherry," is well known to be the most speedy cure ever dis covered. It is indeed a precious remedy— . mild safe and innocent, and sure to give the little sufferer immediate relief, and quickly , restore it to safety and health. Every moth ' who loves her children should always keep it in the house and give it to them early, by doing so you may often save the life of one you fondly love.

IE --- q ,,,,.siimiiii,„„„„„„ El How 7'HE RESURREC77ON, 2 ) 3203-iliq MIZE% GJ La order that this valuable medicine should not be counterfeited, we have a plate representing a Persian scene, that is struck on each bill, one of which accompa nies each box. We deem it unnecessary to publish a long list of Certificates, as it it well neither add to nor diminish (lie virtues of this admirable compound...C:o Superior to the Hygean, Brandreth's, Ev ans', Tomato, the Matchless (priced) Sana tive, or any other Pills or Compound before the r.ublic, as certified to by physicians and others. Let none condemn them until they (have tried them, and then we are certain they will not. It is now a settled point with all those who Il ve used the Vegetable Persian Pills, that they are pre-eminently the best and most efficacious Family Medicine that has yet been used in America. If every family would become acquainted with their sover eign power over disease, they would lu , cp them and be prepared with a sure remedy to apply on the first appearance of disease, and then how much distress would be avoid ed and money saved, as well as the lives of thousnnds who are hurried cut of time by neglecting disease in its first stages, or by not being in possession of a remedy which they can place dependence upon. All who wish to guard against sickness, should use the Persian Pills freely, when needed ; nn injury can ensue, if used from youth to old age, when taken according to the directions. The Resurrection, or Persian Pills.-These pills raise from the gteatPst weakness, dis tress and suffering, to a state of strength, health and happiness. The name of these pills originated from the circumstance of the medicine being found only in the cemetries of Persia. This vegetable production being of a peculiar kind. led to experiments as to its medical qualities and virtues. In half a century it became an established mefficince for the diseases of that country. The ex tract of this singular production was intro duced into some parts of Europe in the year 1783, and used by many celebrated physi cians in curing certain diseases, where all other medicines had been used in vain.— Early in the year 1792, the extract was corn blued with a certain vegetable medicine im ported from Dura Baca. in the East Indi es, and formed into pills. The admirable ef , feet of this compound upon the human sys tem, led physicians and families into its gen eral use. Their long established character, their universal and healing virtues, the de tergent and cleansing qualities of their spe cifical action upon the gtlandular part of the system, are such as will sustain their repu tation and general use in the American Re public. CERTIFIPATE.—I certify that I have, by way of experiment, used the Hygean, and most of the various kinds of Pills, in my practice, which have hot ne the highest re— pute in the public estimation, that have been offered for sale in this vicinity for the last five years, including those called the Res urrection or Persian Pills ; and the public may rest assured that none among the whole catalogue has answered a better purpose, as an easy and an effectual remedy, than the Resurrection or Persian Pills, in most cases of disease.
