Dear Sir AS you are the regular authorized a.
gent in Dayton, for the sale Of DR. Wistar's Ball
sam Of Wild herry,n take this method Of ma
king statement Of facts to you (Which lhope
may be published to the world) in reference 10 an
almost Miraculoos cure, wrought in my case by
means Of the above Invaluable Balsam. Language
fails to describe the salutary efectsit produced,
and the great benefit derived from i,
The citizens OF Dayton and vicinity well recol-
lect that onthe 9th Of August last, received Sc
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 OF
spinters Of the ramrod passed through the pltra,'
and pierced the lungs
After the lapse of about six weeks. / was at
tackled with distressing cough ard violent pain
in my right side. Some ten days after this, when
In paroxysim Of coughing. suddenly an ulcer
broke, and large quantity Of very offensive mat
ter mixed with blood, most of which found pas
sage 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 most lntolefable.
NY physiciane, meanwhile,paidt 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. was visited during
this time by at least twenty Physicians.
Itwas now reduced TO certainty, that inhamq-
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.
E AT this critical stage a messenger was des
patched to Cincinnati, and celebrated physician
Of that place was consulted Whenhe was made
acquainted with my situation, he remarked that
nothing could be done by medical aid, If the cons
stitution itself was not sufficient to throw Oft the
disease. f eaas t1 tiiR f9
Ny friends now despaired of my recovery, and
! had no earthly ground Of hope to survive many
days. Fortunately at this Juncture, | saw one O.
DR.. Wistar's Pamphlets. entitlde "Famiy Med
ical Guae,' or Treatise on consumption Of the
Lungs" As ! had often heard Of dying men
ecatching at straws.p felt like doing SO myself
BY the consent ofmy physician, sent to you
for bottle of the medicine described viz: s'Wis-
tars Balsam of Wild cherry,n which relieved me
| almost Immediately. After had used some f e
OF six bottles, had far recovered as to be up
and about. My cough ceaaed, and my lungs were
restored TO healthy state--all from the healing
and balmy influence, andpowerful medicinal vir-
tues of Wistar's Balsam. ic
Were it not for the external injury received
| in my shoulder and arm by the explosion, ] fee
confident that might have been working at my
trade, (Which is blacksmithing,) but this has
| prevented. 3; s.,
/ By exposure, have since take n several severe
colds; my only remedy has been the..Balsam.'
| And now most cordially recommend the genuine
Wistars Balsain TO all who are afflictedwth colds
