D a. Swayne' Compound Syrup of Pru
11213 of Virginana or wild Cherry
This syrupis highly beneficial in all pects
ral affections; also, in diseases of the cheo
n which the lungs do not perform their
proper office from want of due nervous
energy: such as astlimas,.pulmonary con
sumption, recen t or chronic coughs, hoarse
ness, whooping cough, wheezing and . dif-
Realty of breathing, croup and spitting of
blood, 4'c. 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.

'I HE CAUSE OF CONSUMPTION.
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.

-_:ic9 . ..Q.UVIIO . 4NIP,fiF..Ni
This is the season when this distractive corn
plaint attacks your interesting little children
often robs you of those you fondly doated on,
and carries hundreds to the grave. 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. Remember this is the fa
mous remedy of that distinguished '

7'HE RESURREC77ON,

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.
