| was taken with violent pain in the side,
near the liver, which continued Tor about five
days, and was followed by the breaking Of an
ulcer, or abscess, 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, applied
to a physician, but he said he thought he could
do but little for me except give me some .Mer-
curry Pills, which refused to take, feeling sat
isfed that they could do me no good many
other remedies were procured by my vile ana
friends, but none did me any good-and the
discharge Of blood and corruption still contin-
ued every few days, and at last became so Often
sive that could scarcely breathe. | was also
seized with a violent cough, which at times
caused me to raise much more blood than had
done beforehand my disease continued in this
way, still growing worse until February, when
all hope of my recovery was given up, and my
friends all thought | would die Of Gaiioping
Consumption. At this moment, when my life
was apparently drawing near its close, heard
Of DR. Wistar's Balsanl Of IPitd Cherry, and
got bottle which relieved me immediately;
and by the use of only three bottles of This med
