Messrs. JosI.IN & RowE:-At your request
herewith transmit to you statement of the case of
Mrs. Winner and child, as near as am able to COM
municae, which you are at liberty topublish il you
see fit as feel desire 10 inform the world of the
effects of the invaluable medicine called Wistar's
Basam of Wild Cherry to which, by the divine
blessing, am indebted for the restoration 10 health
of my wife and child
About five years ago, Mrs. Winner was attacked
with violent cough, pain in the chest and side,
and symptoms fapproaching consumption. Dur
ing the intervals from that time TO sometime in
February last, she had been treated by eminent
Physicians from Utica, Syyania, Homer, Chat
ham and Newark and with only partial relief OF the
most urgent symptoms. About one year ago, she
caught violent cold, which seated upon the Lungs,
producing an alarming aggrayaon OF all her pre-
vious symoms Her Physician was sent for and
despite his best efforts, she began rapidly 10 sink
under her disease Cough, EXpectoraion Hectic,
together with night sweats, soon reduced her to a
complete skeleton. In February last, her attend
ing Physician, deemed her case altogether hopeless,
council was called, and after dcberating upon
her case unanimously pronounced her to be beyond
the reach of meanss aud expressed their opinion
that she could survive but short time, one or two
weeks at faFthest. She was at this time entirely
confined to her bed, AMI scarcely able to articu-
late, except in whisper. Her daily paroXysms Of
coughing would last her uninteruptedy from 3 to
5 hours, and SO severe were they, that we did eX-
pect that every paroXysm would be the last The
physicians in council pronounced her Lungs, Liv-
cr, Kidneys, Spine, and Mucus Membrane Of the
Sto mach 10 be incurabIy diseased. 1t was at this
last extremity that we happened to obtain pam
phlet describing DR.. Wistar's Balsam Of Wild
Cherry. as applicable to Lung affections. We i'm
mcdiateIy seat to you and procured bottle, and
commenced its use at evening by giving her one
teaspoon full, and such was the surprising effect,
that she was able to pass comfortable nights rest
without experiencing any paroXysm Of coughing,
and such was It's ultimate effect, that after taking
five bottles she was, contrary TO the eXpcctai
of her physicians, and every one who saw her, en-
trely restored TO healh aud since last summer has
done the entire work of her family. After the last
attack of Mrs. Winner, our youngest child, then an
iufaDiat the brerst was taken down, and rapidly
sinking. with the same aymtoms as its mother, and
seeing the happy effect Of the Ba!sam in the case
Of the mother, we were disposed to make trial oft
for the child and it was attended with the same
perfect success
The above statement can be attested by Our ply
sician as well as Our ncighbors and acquaintances,
who saw Mrs Winner during the course Of her
sickness.
