Dear Sir,—Please send me two bottles more
of your Balsam of Wild Cherry, like thrt
you sent me before. 1 have taken nearly all!
of the first two, and confidently believe this I
medicine will cure me. I have used a great
many remedies within the last year, but

IHE 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
GLECTED COLDS. Yet we find hun
dreds, nay thousands, who treat such com
plaints with the greatest indifference, and
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,
p!easure 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 Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cher
y," as there is also a syrup of this name in
use.

liams & Co., Chemists, No. 33 South Fourth

- :!CROFIkilla OREN , :
This is the season when this destructive 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
are 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 reu 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 physi
cian, Dr. Wistar, which have cured thou

CA:rin 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 will neither add to nor diminish the
virtues of this admirable compound._co
Superior to the Hygean, Brandreth's, Ev
ans', Tomato, the Matchless (priced) Sana
tive, or any other Pills or Compound before
the public, as certified to by physicians and
others. Let none condemn them until they
lhave tried them, and then we are certain
they will not.
I _.
It is now a settled point with all those who
h ve used the Vegetable Persian Pills, that
they are pre-eminently the best and most
efficacious Family Medicine that has yet
I been used in America. If every family
would become acquainted with their sover
eign power over disease, they would keep
them ana 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 out 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 ; no
injury can ensue, if used from youth to old
ige, when taken according to the direction".
'file Resurrection, or Persian Pills.:Fliese
pills raise from the gteatost 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
1 century it became an established medicince
' 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 • .
clans in curing certain diseases, where all,
other medicines had been used in vain.--;
Early in the year 1792, the extract was col
biped with a certain vegetable medicine im
ported from Dura Baca. in the East Indi el,
and formed into pills. The admirable el-.
feet of this compound upon the human sys
tem, led physicians and families into its gen—
cral 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, arc such as will sustain their repu,
tation and general use in the A - •eican Re•'..
public.
CERTIFIC ATE.—I certify,. ,
by way of experiment, used the Hygean, and;
most of the various kinds of Pills, in my •
practice, which have borne the highest re-.
pute in tlie public estimation, that have beent
offered for sale in this vicinity for the lasl
five years, including those called the Res-• • •
urrection or Persian Pills ; and the publi.r
may rest assured that none among the wholar
catalogue has answered a better purpose, at.
an easy and an effectual remedy, than this
Resurrection or Persian Pills, in most canto
of disease.
