Dear Sri feel it due to you as the inventor
of the medicine and to the public, "ho may be
greatly benefited by 1t, to state cure that was
performed in my family, by the use of your Car
minatiye Balsam'
My little son, when about two months old, was
seized with Jo,cei complaint, caused, as | sup
pose, by a change of diet. 1t continued for two
weeks without lntcrmission, and notwithstanding
the remedies prescribed by arespcctablc physician,
we gave up the child victim, as we supposed, to
a fatal disease, but | providentially heard of
"Jaync's Carminativc,' as an eilectual cure for
bowel complaint, and Immediately despatched
messenger to a town seventeen miles of for u bot
tie. BY the use Of this medicine, in less than
thirty six hours the disease was checked; and by
its continued use for Il few days the child was
restored to perfect health. Shortly after this,
there occurred Il similar case in one of the fami-
lies of my congregation; | prescribed "Jayne's
Carminatiye,' and the result was a speedy cure.
From Il knowledge of the efficacy OF your medi-
cine in bowel complaints, disease to which
children are constantly liable have obtained and
keep constantly in the house, quantity of the
"CarmiuatiyC."
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 scpulchral cough was the
lorerunncr Of death, we gave him teaspoon full
of the "EIpectoroht" Ga bottle of which you pre-
scented me with when in Philadelphia and applied
some linoamcnt to the throat and breast, and be-
fore many minutes the hoarscnoss was gone, the
child hrcathed freely and slept swectly. Owing
To these circumstances it cannot be wondered at
why | have so high an opinion of DR.. Jaync's
medicine, and why advise every family to keep
it on hand ready for any emergency.
Respectfully yours,
