Mr. J. w Whitmore Sir--As you are tn,
regular authorized agent in Dayton, for the sale O
'Dr. Wistar's Basam of Wild Cherry take this
method of making statement Of facts to you which

case by means of the most invaluable Basam.
Language fails to describe the salutary effects il
produced, and the great benefit derived from it:

The citizens of Dayton and vicinity, well reco
lect that on the Sh 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 OF
| spinters of the ramrod passed through the 'plura,
and pierced the lungs
After the lapse o. about sIA weeks ], was attacked
with distressing cough and violent pain ia my
| right side Some ten days after this, when IN a
parozysm Of coughing, suddenly an ulcer broke
and large quantity OF very offensive matter mix

passage through The opening of the wound, From
this opening there frequently passed quantity OF

this time my sufieIings were almost intGerable

reach the seat of distress, after the lungs had be-

at least twenty physicians.
II was now reduced to a certainty, that intlam-
nation of the lungs was rapidly taking place; and
that this would terminate my life in very short
time, wa. in the highest degree probable.
At this critical stage "a messenger was despatched
to Cincinnatia celebrated physician of that ci-
ty was consulted. When he was made acquainted
with nv 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 dispared 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 so myself By the consent
of nv physicians, I sent to you for bottle of the
medicine described, viz 'Wistar's Balsam 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 stateall from the
heallng and bamy influence, and powerful medi-
cianl virtues of Wlstar'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 at my
trade (Which is blacksmithing, but this was pre-
vented.
By exposure, I have since taken several severe
colds, and my only remedy has been the Balssm.
And now most cordially recommend the Genu'
