CONSUMPTION Of The Lungs.
& & { { 8 8 Z


The following we have just received from Messrs. Jos
lin a. Rowe, Druggists, in Newark, in this State, to-
whom it was communicated by John Winner, Esq, a
citizen of Burlington, Licking county. Ohio.
BURLINGTON, Licking Co, o., Dec |, le43.
Mcssrs, Joslin 81 Rowe AT your request | herewith
transmit TO you a statement OF the case oil Mrs. Winner
and child, as near as l am able to communicate, which
you are al liberty 10 publish if you sec fit, as l feel Il
desire to inform the world of the effects of the invalu-'
able medicine called Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry,
to which, by the divine blessing, l am indebted for the
restoration to health ofmy wife and child.
About five years ago Mrs. Winner was attacked
with a violent cough, pain in the chest and side, and
symptoms of approaching consumption. During the
intervals from that time to sometime in Feb, last, she
had been treated by eminent Physicians from Utica,
.Sylyania, Homer, Chatham, and Newark, and with
only partial relief OF the most urgent symptoms. A
bout one year ago she caught a violent cold, which
seated upon the Lungs, producing an alarming aGSla-
walton of all her previous symptoms. Her Physician
was sent for, and despite his best efforts, she began
rapidly to sink under her disease. Cough, FXpectora-
ton, Hectic, together with night sweats, soon reduced
her to a complete skeleton. In Feb. last, her attend
ing Physician, deemed her case altogether hopeless, a
council was called and after celebrating upon her
case, unanimously pronounced her to be beyond the
reach Of means, and expressed their opinion that she
could survive but Il short time, one or two weeks at far
thcst.-She was at this time entirely confined TO hel
bed, and scarcely able 10 articulate, except in a whis-
per. Her daily paroxysns Of coughing would last her
intenuptedIy from three to five hours, and 50 severe
were they, that we did expect that every paroxysm
would be the last. The Physicians in council, 20
nounced her Lungs, Liver, Kidneys, Spine, snd Mu,
Gus, Membrane of the Stomach to be incurably dis
eased. 1t was at this last extremity that we happened
to obtain a pamphlet describing DR.. Wistar's BuIsam Q
Wild Cherry, as applicable to Lung affections. VIZ
Immediately sent to you and procured a bottle, at
commenced its use at evening by giving her one tea
spoonful, and such was the surprising effect, that she
was able to pass a comfortable nights rest, without ex
periencing any paroxysm of coughing, and such was
its Intimate effect, that after taking 5 bottles she was
contrary to the expectations other physicians, and eve
ny one who saw her, cntiIely restored 20 health ant
since last summer has done the entire work other fam
ily. After the last attack Of Mrs. Winner, our young
est child, then an infant at the breast, was taken dow
and rapidly sinking, with the same symptoms as it
mother, and seeing the happy effect oltIe Balsam i
the case of the mother, we were disposed to make tria
of it for the child, and it was attended with the sam
perfect success.
The above statement can be attested by our phys
clan as well as our n~eighbors and acquaintances, VIII
saw Mrs. Winner during the course of her sickness.
Very truly, yours, &c.
