TO THE SICK AND AFFLICTED. DR. SWAYNE'S COMPOUND SYRUP OF WILD CHERRY.
WE can consistently state, that DR. SWAYNE'S Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry has been extensively used in the United States, for more than ten years -- that its beneficial effects have been tested by thousands-THAT IT INVARIABLY RELIEVES A RECENT COUGH, and that hun- dreds of individuals, gradually sinking under the insidious attack of death's fell emissary PUL- MONARY CONSUMPTION, have been restored to health, happiness and friends, by its use, and are now living testimonials of the curative power of this REMEDY. ANOTHER INVALID RESTORED TO HEALTH. READ THE MOST REMARKABLE CURE EVER RECORDED !
DR. SWAYNE-Dear Sir : I feel called by a sense of duty I owe to suffering humanity, to ac- knowledge my grateful thanks for the wonderful effects of your Compound Syrup of Wild s Cherry on me, after suffering month after month with the most afflieting of all diseases, Con- sumption. The first symptoms were of a very heavy cold which settled on my lungs, which gradually grew worse, with profuse night sweats, a hacking cough, spitting blood, with great debility. My constitution seemed broken down, and nervous system very much impaired. I went to Philadelphia, was treated there by physicians of the highest standing, but received no benefit whatever from them, but gradually grew worse, until my physicians, as well as myself, gave up all hopes of recovery, and I felt like one who is about to pass through the Valley of the Shadow of Death. At this "awful juncture" I heard of your Compound Syrup of Wild Cher- ry, of which I purchased six bottles, which I am happy to say entirely cured me, and I am now enjoying better health than I ever have before in my life. Physicians who witnessed my case are highly recommending it in similar cases, and I wish you to make this public, so that all may know where to procure a remedy at once which will reach their disease before tampering with the many " quack nostrums" with which the country is flooded. My residence is at 45 Ann street, where I should be happy to have the above substantiated by a personal interview.
ALBERT A. ROSS, Wholesale and Retail Dealer in Cigars, 45 Ann St., N. Y.
CAUTION .- Since the introduction of my article to the public, there have a number of unprincipled individuals got up nostrums, which they assert contain WILD CHERRY, some are called "BALSAMS," "BIT- TERS," and even "SYRUP OF WILD CHERRY," but mine is the original and only genuine preparation ever introduced to the public, which can be proved by the public Records of the Commonwealth of Pennsylva- nia. The only safeguard against imposition is to see that my signature is on each bottle.
