I hope will be published to the world, 10 refer

case by means of the most invaluable Balsam.
Language fails to describe the salutary effects j
produced, and the great benefit derived from il
use. ...
The citizens of DAYTON and vicinity, well recol
lect that on the 9Th of August last, received Sc
rious injury from the explosion of cannon.
portion of its contents entered my right side ant
bIeast; and in all probability some fragments o
spnters uf the ramrod passed through the 'plura,
and pierced the lungs.
After the lapse OF about SIX weeks was attacked
with distressing cough and violent pain in my
| right side Some ten days after this, when in a
paroxysm Of coughing, suddenly an ulcer broke
and a large quantity OF very offensive matter, mix
ed with blood, was discharged;most of which founc
passage through the opening of the wound, From
this opening there frequently passed quantity o
air, supposed TO issue from the lungs. During all
this time my sufferings were almost ntGlerable.
My physicians meanwhile, paid the strlctest at
-tention to me, and did all in their power for my
recovery. But with all their skill, they could not
reach the seat of distress, after the lungs had be-
come affected. was visited during this time, by
at least twenty physicians, ....
1t was now reduced to a certainty, that inflam.
nation of the lungs was rapidly taking place; and
that this would terminate my life in a very short
time, was in the highest degree probable.
At this critical stage,a messenger was despatched
to Cincinnati. and celebrated physician of that ci
ty was consulted. When he was made acquainted
with my situation, he remarked that nothing could
be done by medical aid if the constitution itseli
was not enough to throw off the disease.
My friends now dspared of my recovery and |
had no earthly ground of hope to survive many
days Fortunately ,at this juncture saw one of DR..
Wistar's Pamphlets, entitled Family Medical
Guide, or Treatise on consumption OF the Lungs
As had often heard of dying men 'catching at
straws, | felt like doing myself By the consent
of nv physicians, sent to you for bottle of the
medicine described, viz: 'Wlstar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry; which relieved me Immediately. After
had used some five six bottles so far recovered
as to be up and about. My cough ceased and my
lungs were restored tn healthy state--a from the
healng and balmy influence, and powerful medi-
cianl virtues of Wistar's Balsam
Were it not from the external injury received
in nv shoulder and arm, by the explosion, | feel
confident that might have been working al my
trade, (Which is blacksmithing,) but this was pre-
vented.
By exposure, have since taken several severe
colds, and my only remedy has been 'the Balssm.'
And now most cordially recommend the Genu
inc Wstar's Basam TO all who are afflicted with
colds. coughs or lung complaints. lconsider il an
invaluable medicine-a real ble sing to the world.
Any person desiring further information, may call
on me at any time Yours, truly,
