Dur Si,-l feel it due to You as the inventor
of the medicine aud to the public who may be
greatly benefited by it, to state cure that was
performed in my family, by the use of your Gar
mnativc Basam.'
Ny little son, when about two months old, was
seized with a LOJcei collpk,iHt, caused | sup
pose, nv a change of diet. 1t continued for two
weeks without intormssion and notwithstanding
the remedies prescribed by respectable physician,
we gave up the child victim, as We supposed to
a fatal disease, but / proyidcnually heard Of
.Iavnc's Carluinatlyc," an cilectual cure for
bowel complaint, and Immediately despatched a
messenger to town seventeen miles oil Tor bot
| tie. BY the use of this medicine iii less than
thirty six hours the disease was checked; and by
its continued use for few days the child was
restored to perfect health. Shortly after this,
there occurred a similar case in one of the iaml-
lies of my congregation; | prescribed Jayne ;
Carmnatiyc,' and the result was speedy cmc.
From a knowledge OF the efficacy OF your medl-
cine in bowel complaints, disease to which
children are constantly liable, have obtained and
keep constantly III the house, quantity Of the
I"Carminatyc.'
The same child, owing to exposure, when rec
entity coming up the Ohio, was attacked by the
horrible malady. GROUP. We landed in the
night at Beaver Point, and when our fears were
alarmed lest the hoarse sepulchral cough was the
sorcrunncr of death, we gave him a teaspoon full
Of the "Ecpcct@ma," Ga bottle of which YOU pre-
scented me with when in Philadelphia and applied
some lincament to the throat and breast, and be-
fore many minutes the hoarsencss was gone, the
child broaihcd freely and slept swcctly. Owing
10 these circumstances it cannot be wondered at
why | have so high an opinion of DrJayne's
medicine and why advise every family to keep
it on hand ready for any emergency.

Dr. JAYxr-Dsa- Siy.--By the blessing of God
your INDIAN EXPECTORANT has effected
a cure in me of a most distressing complaint. In
December last, was seized with great severity
nv Paroxysm of Asthma; disease with which
had been afflicted for many years past. 1t was
attended with hoarsGncss and soreness of the
LUNGS and throat, together with laborious cough,
and complete Urostration OF strength, and when
almost worn out with sufocatlon, bottle of your
Expectorant was sent to my house. At first |
thought it was nothing but quackcry, but seeing
it so highly recommended by Dr. Going, with
whom was we'll acquainted, was induced to try
it, and in few days it completely cured me, nor
have ! ever had any return of the disease since.
have now formed so high an opinion of your
medicine, that if had but few bottles OF 1t, and
could obtain no more, | would not part with them
for ten dollars each.
