desire inform the world of the effects OF the lnvalu
able medicine called Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry,
to which, by the divine blessing, am indebted for the
restoration to 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 Of approaching consumption. During the
intervals from that time sometime in Feb last, she
had been treated by eminent Physicians from Utica,
ISylvania, Homer, Chatham, and Newark, and with
only partial relief of the most urgent symptoms A
bout one yelr ago she caught violent cold, which
seated upon the Lungs, producing an alarming aggra-
walton of al her previous symptoms Her fhyslclah
was sent for and despite his best efforts, she began
rapidly to sink under her disease. Cough, Expecora-
ton, Hectic, together with night sweas, soon reduced
her a complete skeleton. In Feb last, her attend

to obtain pamphlet describing Dr. Wistar's Balsam
Wild Cherry as applicable to Lung affections. We
Immediately sent to you and procured bottle, and
commenced its use at evening by giving her one tea

was able topass comfortable nights Ies without ex-

its ultimate effect that after taking bottles she was,

HADDoNFIELD, N. j., April 90, l943
On OF about the 18th day of Dec l84l' was taken
with violent pain in the side the Liver which con-
tnued for about five days. and was followed sby the
breaking of an ulcer, or something inwardly, which
relieved the pain little, but caused me to throw up
great quantity of offensive matter and also much blood
Being greatly alarmed at this Iapped to physician
but he said he thought he could do but little for
cept give me some Mercury Pills, which refused to
take feeling satisfied they could do good many
other remedies were then procured by my wife and
friends, and none did any good and the discharge
of blood and corruption still continued every few days,
and last became so offensive could scarcely breathe
