Messrs. JosLIN s. 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 ifyou
see fit, feel desire TO inform the world of the
effects of the invaluable medicine called Wjstars
Basam 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 ofapproaching consumption,. Dur
ing the Intervals from that time to sometime in
February last, she had been treated by eminent
Physicians from Utica, Sylvania, Homer, Chat
ham and Newark ,and with only partial relief ofthe
most urgent symptoms. About one year ago, she
caught violent cold, which seated upon the Lungs,
producing all alarming aggravation OF all her pre-
vious symtoms. Her Physician was sent for, and
despite his best efforts, she began rapidly TO sink
under her disease. Cough, Expectoration Hectic,
together with night swcats, soon reduced her to a
complete skeleton. In February last, her attend
ing Physician, deemed her altogether hopeless
a council was called and after delberating upon
her unanimously pronounced her to be beyond
the reach OF means, and expressed their opinion
that she could survive but short time one or two
weeks at farthest. She was at this time entirely
confined to her bed, and scarcely able to arcu-
late, except in whisper Her daily paroXysms of
coughing would last her uninteruptedly from to
5 hours, and so severe were they, that we did ex-
pect that every paToXysm would be the last The
physicians in council pronounced her Lungs. Liv-
er, Kidneys, Spine, and Mucus Membrane of tho
Stomach to be ncuraby diseased. 1t was at this
last extremity that we happened to obtain pam
phIet describing Dr. Wistar's Basam of Wild
Cherry. as applicable to Lung affections. We inn
medately sent to you and procured bottle, and
commenced its use at evening by giving her one
teaspoon fall, and such was the surprising effect,
that she was able to pass comfortable nights rest,
without experiencing any paroXysm of coughing,
and such its ultimate effect, that after taking
five bottles she was, contrary TO the expectations
other physicians, and every one who saw her, Ell
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 breast was taken down, and rapidly
sinking, with the same SYMPTOMS as its mother, and
seeing the happy effect of the Balsam 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 attescd by our phy-F
scidn as well our neighbors and acquaintances,
who Mrs. Winner during the course Of her
sickness.
Very truly, yours, &C.
