Dtdf space permit, we could giva many hund
ired certificates fiotn all parts wher* ihe pilla
have been used, but evidet.te even more convinc
ing than the experience of public men. found
in their effects upon trial.
Ibese pills, the ,esult of long investigatioa
and study, are offered to the public as the best
and most complete whu-h the present state ot
medical science can afford. They are compound
ed not ol the drug's theoiselvea, but of the medic
itial virt e# only of vegetable remedies extracted
by chemical process u, a state of purity, and
mbinttd together ir such a manner as to insura
the best .results. This system ol cornpoaition for
medicine has beer, lound in the Cherry Pectoral
and PiU.i both, lo produce a more efficient teme
dy than had tbcr'o been obtained by any srs
•ress. The reason is perfectly vious. \Uiile
by the old mode ol composition, every medicine
is burdened with more or less of acnmonieus
at injurious qu litiea. by this each individual,
virtue only that is desired for the curative effact
is pre»ent. All the inert and obnoxious uuali
ties ol each substance employed are left bAind,
curattte virtues or ly ben

gretair ed. Hence

As it is frequently expedient that my medi
cines should be taken under the counsel of art at

Of all the patent medicines that are offered
how few would be taken if their composition was
known! Their h(e ctnsists n their ayatefy, I
htve no mystern s.
Th* composition of my preparations is law'
open to ali men, and all wh«» are competent :o
judge on thw subject ftely acknowledge their
convictions o' their intrinsic merits. The Cher
ry Pectoral was p'onounce.1
