| Dear Sir--As you are the regular authorized a.
gent in Dayton, for the sale Of 'Dr Wistars Bal
sam OF Wild Cherry" take this method of ma
king statement of facts to you (Which hope
may be published to the word) in reference TO an
almost Miraculous cure, wrought in my case by
means OF the above invaluable Balsam. Language
fails to describe the saluary effects it produced,
and the great benefit derived from it.
| The citizens Of Dayton and vicinity well recol-
lect that on the 9th of August last, received se-
rious injury by the explosion of cannon. A por-
ton OF its contents entered my right side and
breast! and in all probability some fragments or
spinters of the ramrod passed through the 'plura,'
and pierced the lungs i, .gt
After the lapse OF about six weeks. l was at
tackled with distressing cough ard violent pain
in my right side. Some ten days after this, when
in puroxysim of coughing, suddenly an ulcer
broke, and large quantity of verytofensive mat
ter mixed with blood. most of which found pas
sage through the opening of the wound. From
| this opening there frequently passed quantity
ofair, supposed tossue from the lungs. During
all this time my sufferings were most intolerable
| My physciane, meanwhile, paid the strictest at
tention to me, and did all in their power ormy
recovery. But with all their skill, they could not
reach the seat OF Distress ! was visited during
this time by at least twenty Physicians.
1t was now reduced to a certainty, that lnfarna-
tion of the Lungs was rapidly taking place; and
that this would terminate my life in very short
time, was IN the highest degree probable.
At this critical stage messenger was des.
patched to Cincinnati, and celebrated physician
Of that place was consulted. When he was made
acquainted with nay situation, he remarked that
nothing could be done by medical aid, if the con-
stution itself was not sufficient to throw of the
disease. tat gsa-
