The Greatest Medicine of the Day.
- -
DR. SWAYNE'S
COMPOUND SYRUP OF WILD CHERRY.
THE ORIGINAL AND GENUINE PREPARATION.
ANOTHER HOME CERTIFICATE.
Of all the cures that has ever been recorded, we may safely say the annals of medicine cannot furuish one to surpass this, which now stands as a living proof of the curability of CONSUMP- TION, even when life had been despaired of. DR. SWAYNE'S COMPOUND SYRUP OF WILD CHERRY is all it professes to be, the greatest medicine in the known world.
THE TRUE RICHES OF LIFE IS HEALTH.
DR. SWAYNE-Dear Sir,-For the good of the public, I feel myself in duty bound to testify to the great cure which your Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry performed on me. For my part, I feel as if every body ought to know it. I was afflicted with a violent Cough, Spitting of Blood, Night Sweats, Hoarseness, and sound of the voice indicating an alarming state of disease ; my ap- petite was gone, and my strength had so far failed me that my friends and physician were per- suaded I could not survive many days. My sister, who was my anxious care-taker, made inquiry where she would be likely to procure the most certain relief. She was told that if Dr. Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry failed in the cure, my life was then hopeless. Your medicine was immediately procured, and the first, bottle gave relief, and by the time I had commenced the sixth bottle, my cough had left me and my strength was much improved. In short, it has made a perfect cure of me, and I am at this present time as hearty a man as I wish, and have good reason to believe that the use of your medicine has saved me from a premature grave. I shall be pleased to give any information respecting my case. Yours with respect,
I. M. REEVES,
No. 38 Chester Street, between Race and Vine Streets, Philadelphia.
CAUTION! CAUTION !!
Avoid all spurious preparations of Wild Cherry, such as Balsams, Bitters, Syrups of Wild Cherry, Pills purporting to contain Wild Cherry, &c., &c., as they are all fictitious and counter- feit, and contain none of the virtues of the original and genuine preparation, as prepared by Dr. H. SWAYNE, and the first ever prepared in this country.
Therefore, invalids, inquire for the original preparation, each bottle of which is enveloped in a beautiful wrapper, with a likeness of Wm. Penn engraved thercon ; also bearing the signature of Dr. H. SWAYNE, the counterfeiting of which will be punished as forgery.

CENTRAL INSTITUTE, (N. E. VIEW,) TAINES' SIKRET, NEAR SIXTH, WEST OF ODD FELLOWS' HALL, philadelphia.
PRINCIPAL, ALFRED L. KENNEDY, Residence 181 South Fifth Street. ( JAMES E. SLACK,
ASSISTANTS, FURMAN SHEPPARD,
This Institution occupies in its new location on Haines' street near Sixth one of the most eligible sites in the city. The thickly settled Northern and Southern Districts are about equi-distant, and the communication with them and with the Schuylkill by the Sixth and the Arch street lines of Omnibusses is easy and rapid even in the most inclement weather.
The entire building (formerly Sandiford Hall) will be exclusively devoted to the purposes of this School. The apartments are spacious, thoroughly ventilated and handsomely furnished with all the most approved aids to comfort and improvement; while ample means are afforded for safe and healthful recreation during the time of daily intermission.
The lower floor of the building composes the
LECTURE ROOM.
in which there are 30 slips or pews, and suitably arranged in cases, extensive Chemical and Philosophical apparatus, a Mineralogical cabinet, an Ilerbarium of indigenous plants, Diagrams and other efficient and popular means of illustrating to the youthful mind the principal and practical truths of Chem- istry, Natural Philosophy, Astronomy, Geology, Physiology, and Botany. Lectures on these subjects forming a connected series are delivered weekly throughout the academic year. Advanced pupils take notes of these Lectures and subsequently write them out in full,-an exercise pleasing in itself, and of incalculable advantage to the young student in English composition.
The second story of the building forms what is terwed the
MAIN ROOM.
Here most of the instruction is given. The room is well furnished and car- petted. The desks are of various heights, proportioned to the size of the pupils, and the chairs which were invented and constructed solely for this academy, are especially adapted to prevent curvature of the spine and the terrible diseases flowing therefrom: the chair-back being so formed as to permit the chair to be fastened to the floor in front of the desk, sufficiently near to support the back of the sitting pupil at all times, and this without im- peding his leaving or taking his seat.
The upper story will be divided into a Class Room and a Gymnasium.
THE SYSTEM OF INSTRUCTION
Is framed agreeably to the best models. The arrangement of studies having long stood the rigid test of experience in the education of a number of young gentlemen, is respectfully and confidently submitted to Parents, as one well calculated to develope talent and form habits of industry without over taxing the youthful mind. Pupils are not compelled to conform to a cer- tain routine of studies, but may prosecute those which will better prepare them for their subsequent career in business or at the University. This advantage naturally flows from the large amount of individual instruction here afforded: no pupil being compelled to wait until a large class is attended to.
The establishment of a PREPARATORY DIVISION in this Institution enables those parents who appreciate the great advantage of a regularly progressive course of instruction, to place their sons at an early age where improvement is certain, rapid, and uninterrupted by frequent changes of teachers, schools and discipline.
The Regulations are simple and easily learned. Strict conformity to . them is indispensable. No pupil who continues refractory, or who other- wise exerts an immoral influence on his fellows, can be suffered to remair.
The ACADEMIC YEAR is divided into two sesions of Five Months each, com- mencing respectively on the First of September and the First of February. No pupil is received for less than five months. No deduction is made on account of non-attendance or withdrawal before the close of the Session.
Public Examinations, closing with an exercise in Public Speaking are held on the last three days of each session. Examinations free to parents only, are held thrice during each session.
