Messrs. JosLIN g. RowE:-At your request
herewith transmit TO you statement of the case oi
Mrs. Winner and child, as near as am able to com.
muncate, which you are at liberty publish if you
see fit, as feel desire 10 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 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, Sylvania, Homer, Chat
ham and Newark land with only partial relief of the
most urgent symptoms About one year ago, she
caught violent cold, which seated upon the Lungs
producing an 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, Expectorailon Hectic
together with night sweats, soon reduced her to
complete skeleton. In February last, her attend
ing Physician, deemed her case altogether hopeless
council was called, and after delberating upor
her case unanimously pronounced her to be beyont
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 entirel,
confined to her bed, and scarcely able to articu
late, except in whisper. Her daily paroxysms o
coughing would last her unnteruptedly from t.
hours, and so severe were they, that we did ex
pect that every paroxysm would be the last Tit
physicians in council pronounced her Lungs. Liv
er, Kidneys, Spine, and Mucus Membrane of tn,
Stomach to be incurably diseased. 1t was at thi
last extremity that we happened to obtain pam
phlet describing DR.. Wistar's Balsam of Wilt
Cherry. as applicable to Lung affections. We i'm
medately sent to you and procured bottle, ant
commenced its use at evening by giving her on,
teaspoon full, and 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 expectation
of her physicians. and every one who saw her, en-
tIrely restored to health; and since last summer ha
done the entire work of her family. After the las
attack of Mrs. Winner, our youngest child, then al
infant at the breast was taken down, and rapid.
sinking, with the same symtoms as its mother, AM
seeing the happy effect of the Balsam in the cas-
of the mother, we were disposed to make trial Of
| for the child, and it was attended with the sam
perfect success.
The above statement can be attested by our ply
sicisn as we'll as our neighbors and acquaintances
who saw Mrs. Winner during the course Of he
sickness.
Very truly, yours, &C.
JOHN WIMER.
