DAYTON, Feb llth, 1s45.
Mr.. ]. w. Whitmore-Dear Sir--As you are the
regular authorized agent in Dayton, for the sale of
Or. Wstar's Balsam of Wild Cherry take this
method of making statement of facts to you( which
hope will be published to the world y III refer
ence to an almost miraculous cure wrought ~ my
case by means of the most invaluable Basam.
Language fails to describe the salutary effects il
produced, and the great benefit derived from its
use. ......
The citizens of Dayton and vicinity, well recol-
lect that on the Sth of August last, received
rious injury from tie explosion of cannon A
portion of its contents entered my right side and
beast; and in all probability some fragments or
splinters of the ramrod passed through the plura,
and pierced the lungs. ,.H
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 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 sufferings were almost intoerable

recovery, But with all their skill, they could not
reach these of distress after the lungs had be-
come affected Twas visited during this time, by
at least twenty physicians.
1t was now reduced to certainty, that infam-
mation,of the lungs was rapidly taking places and
that this would terminate my life in very short
time, was in the highest degree probable. z y
Al this critical ssse "a messenger was despatched
to Cincinnati and ceebratat physician OF that ci-
" 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.
| Nv friends now dispaired of my recovery and
had no earthly ground of hope to survive many
days Fortunately ,at this juncture saw one ofDr
Wistar's Pamphlets, entitled Family Medical
Guide, 'or Treatise OH consumption Of the Lungs.
As | had often heard of dying men Catching al
straws,' felt like doing myself. By the consent
of nv physicians sent to you for bottle Of the
medicine described, viz: sWIstar's BaIsam 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 Ireceivet

colds, and my only remedy has been 'the Balssm.
And now most cordially recommend the Genu
