Splitting of Blood,

MIGHT SWEATS AND PAIN IN THE SIDE.
Jonathan Haworth, ESQ. the well known Tem-
perance Lecturer, was attacked with a cold from
sleeping IN damp sheets, in the winter of 1871. He
neglected ii at first, but soon found il assuming
somewhat alarming aspect, and then resoIted TO
the various remedies usually recommended for lung
complaints. When one thing failed he tried an
other, until ne had exhausted his patience and the
whole catalogue OF remedies. His cough was al
most ncessant, so that he could get little or no
sieep-arended with pain in his side, splitting of
blood night sweats, and all the usual symptoms OF
Consumption While at Rome, IN " he felt that
his end was ngh-lhat in that place he must soon
end his journey of life. Providentally, a LADY
who visited him advised trial of DIR Sherman's
Cough Lozenges. He accordingly sent and got
box, and the first dose gave him more relief than
all the other medicines he used before. By the
time he had taken one small box, he was able to
start for the city of New York, and in three weeks
time he was perfectly restored to his usual health.
He often announces the fact to his hearers, when
lecturing on Temperance, and says he owes his
life to DIR Sherman's Lozenges
From the Cincinnati Daily Times of Jan. 4th 1874.
COughS-The variableness of the weather this
winter has caused an unusual number of persons
10 be afflicted by colds and coughs-scarcely
family has escaped; and with many, carelessness
in attending to cough has laid the foundation for
consumption Our family has not escaped the
general affiiction, but owing to remedy, used
for the first time, they speedily cured. Sher-
mans Cough LoZenges, which we were induced
TO try, proved what they represented TO be- and
affected cure in a few days of troublesome
cough, which appeared SO deeply seated that
seemed doubtful if 1T could be removed at all
