Messrs. JosLIH & RowE:-At your request I
herewith transmit to you statement OF the case OF
Mrs. Winner and child, as near as am able to COM
municate, which you are at liberty topubIish fyou
see fit as feel desire to Inform the world Of the
effects 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 wears ago, Mrs. Winner was attacked
with violent cough, pain in the chest and side,
and symptoms OF approaching coHsumptlon,. Dur
ng the intervals from that time to sometime III
February last, she had been treated by eminent
Physicians from Utica, Syyania, Homer, Chat
ham and New ark land with only partial relief OF the
most urgent symptoms. About one year ago, she
caught violent cold, which seated upon the Lungs,
producing all alarming aggravaton Of all her pre-
vous symtoms Her Physician was sent for, aud
despite his be. efforts, she began rapidly to sink
under her disease. Cough, ENpectoraiion 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 aiteI deheTlting upon
her case unanimously pronounced her to be beyond
the reach OF means, and expressed theS opinion
that She could survive but short time, one or two
weeks at larthe5t. She was at this time entirely
confined to her bed, an scarcely able to ariiru-
late, except in whisper. Her daily paroxysms #
coughing would last her unintcTnpiedy from 3 to
hours, aad so severe were they, that We did eX-
pect that every paroxysm would be the last The
physicians in cnnncil pronounced her Lungs. Liy-
er, kidneys, Spine, and Mucus Membrane Of the
Stomach to he incurably diseased. 1t at this
last extremity that we happened to obtain pam
phet describing DR.. Wistar's Balsaln of Wild
Cherry. as applicable to Lung affections. We i'm
mediately sent to you aud procured a bottle, and
commenced IFS use OF evening by giving her one
teaspoon full, AID such was the surprising effect,
that she was able to pass comfortable nights rest,
without experiencing any paroXysm Of coughing,
and such was its ultimate effect, that after taking
five bottles she was, contrary TO the expectations
Of her physicians. and every one who saw her, en-
tireIy restored TO health; and since last summer has
doue 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 SYMPTOMS as its mother, and
seeing the happy elect of the Balsam in the case
OF the mother we were disposed TO make trial of it
for the child, and il was attended with the same
perfect success
The above statement can be attesed by our ply
sician as well as our Ecighbors and acquantances,
who saw Mrs, Winner during the course Of her
sickness
