DAYTON, Feb. llth, lS45.
Mr. ]. w. Whitmore-De Sr--Asyou are the
regular authorized agent in Dayton for the sale of
DIR. Wistar's Basam of Wild Cherry take this
method of making statement of facts to you(which
hope will be published TO the world in refer
ence to an almost miraculous cure wrought in my
case BY means of the most invaluable Balsam.
Language fails TO describe the salutary effects it
produced, and the great benefit derived from its
use.
The citizens of Dayton and vicinity, well recol-
ect that on the Sth of August last, received Sc.
rious injury from the explosion of cannon. A
portion of its contents entered my right side and
bIeast and in all probability some fragments or
splinters of the ramrod passed through the pura,
and pierced the lungs.
After the lapse OF about SIX weeks, i 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 large quantity OF very offensive matter mix
ed with blood was discharged ;most of which found
passage through the opening of the wound. From
this opening there frequently passed quantity OF
air, supposed to issue from the lungs. During all
this time my sulferings were almost intolerabe.
My physicians meanwhile, paid the strictest at
tenton 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. l 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 itself
was not enough to throw off the disease.
My friends now dispaired of my recovery and |
had no earthly ground of hope to survive many
days Fortunately lat 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 my physicians, sent to you for bottle of the
medicine described, viz: 'Wistar's Basam of Wild
Cherry; which relieved me Immediately. After
had used some FIVE or six bottles so far recovered
as to be up and about. My cough ceased and my
lungs were restored to healthy state-all from the
healing and balmy influence, and powerful medi-
cianl virtues of Wlstar's Balsam.
Were it not from the external injury received
in my shoulder and arm, by the explosion, feel
confident that I might have been working al my
trade, (Which is blacksmi:LingD but this was pre-
vented.
BY exposure, have since taken several severe
colds, and my only remedy has been 'the Balsem.
And now most cordially recommend the Genu
ire Wistar's Balsam TO all whd are afflicted with
colds. coughs or lung complaints. l consider il an
invaluable medicine-a real blessing to the world.
Any person desiring further information, may call
on me at any time Yours, truly,
CHRISTOPHER R. SMITH.
