regular authorized agent in Dayton, for the sale Of
'Dr. Wistars Balsam 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 10 describe the salutary effects it
produced and the great benefit derived from its
use.
The citizens of Dayton and vicinity, well recol-
lect that on the 9Th of August last received se-
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 plura,
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 v th 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 suffeIings were almost intdlerabe.
My physicians meanwhile, paid the strIctest 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 10 certainty, that inham-
nation of the lungs rapidly taking place; and
that this would terminate my life in a very short
time, was in the highest degree probable.

to Cincinnati and celebrated physician of that c.
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
sraws, felt like doing myself. By the consent
Of my physicians, 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 state-all from the
healing and balmy influence, and powerful medi-
cianl virtues of Wistar's Balssm
Were it not from the external injury received
in my shoulder and arm, by the explosion, feel
confident that might have been working at my

BY exposure, have since taken several severe
colds, and my only remedy has been the Balsem.'
And now most cordially recommend the Genu.
