Measrs. JosLIN g. RowE:-At your request |
herewith transmit to you statement of the case of
Mrs. Winner and child, as near as am able to COM
municate, which you at liberty topublish if you
see iit feel desire 10 inform the world Of the
eifc cts of the invaluable 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,. Dur
ing the intervals from that time to sometime in
February last, She had been treated by eminent
Physicians from Utica, Syivania, 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 Lulgs,
producing alarming aggravaton Of all her pre-
vious symtoms. Her Physician was sent for, aud
despite his best efforts, she began rapidly TO sink
under her disease. Cough, EApectora,ion Hectic,
together with night sweats, soon reduced her to a
complete skeleton. In February last, her attend
ing Physician, deemed her case altogether hopeless
a council was called and after deliberating upon
her case unanimously pronounced her to be beyond
the reach OF means, aud expressed their opinion
that she could survive but short time one or two
week, at arhest. She was at this time entirely
confined to her bed, an scarcely able to artcu-
late, except in whisper. Her daily paroXysmS a
coughing would last her uninteruptedly from 3 10
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. Liy-
er, Kidneys, Spine, aud Mucus Membrane OF the
Sto mach to be incuraby 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
mediately sent to you and procured a bottle, ard
commenced its use at evening by giving her one
teaspoon full, aud such was the surprising effect,
that she able to pass comfortable nights rest,
without experiencing any paroXysm Of coughing,
and such was lis ultimate effect, that after taking
five bottles she was, contrary TO the expectations
Of her physicians, and every one who saw her, en-
trely restored to health; and since last summer has
done the entire work OF her family After the last
attack of Mrs Winner, our youngest child, then an
infant at the hrerst was taken down, and rapidly
sinking, with the same symtoms its mother, and
seeing the happy effect Of the BaIsam 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 attesed by our ply
siciaD as well as our negh6ors and acquaintdnces,
who saw Mrs. Winner during the course OF her
sickness
