method of making statement OF facts to you( (which
hone will be published to the world it, 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 il
produced, and the great benefit derived from its
use.
The citizens of Dayton aud vicinity. well recol-
lect that on the 9Th of August last, received Sc
rous iii Jury from the explosion of a 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 plura,
and pierced the lungs.
After the lapse o: about sx weeks, 1 was attacked
with distressing cough and violent pain IN my
right side Some ten days after this. when in a
paroxy-m OF coughing, suddenly an ulcer broke

passage through the opening of the wound From
this opening there frequently passed quantity nl

this time nv sufferings were almost intoerable.
Nv physicians meanwhile, paid the strcest at.
tentiou to me, aud did all il their power for my
recovery. But with all their skill, they could not

come affected was visited during this time, by
at least twenty physicians.

that this would terminate my life in very short
tine, was in the highest degree probable
At thus critical stage messenger was despatched
to Cincinnati and celebrated physician of that ei-
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

had no earthly ground of hope to survive many
days Fortunately ,at this junctre saw one of DR..
Wistar's Pamphlets. entitled Family Medical

straws' felt like doing myself. By the consent
of nv physicians, sent to you for bottle of the
medicine described, viz: 'Wis,ar's Balsam of Wild

lungs were restored to healthy state-all from the
healing and balnv influence. and powerful medl-
cianl virtues of Wistar's Balsam

trade, (Which is blacksmithing,) but this was pre-
vented.
By exposure, I have since taken several severe
