DAYTON, Feb llth, 1915.
Mr.. ]. w. Whitmore-Dear Sir--Asyou are the
regular authorized agent in Dayton for the sale Of
'Dr Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry take this
method 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 to describe the sautary effects il
produced, and the great benefit derived from its
use.
The citizens of Dayton and vicinity, well recol-
ect that on the Sth of August last, received Sc
rious injury from the explosion of a cannon. A
portion of its contents entered my right side and
beast; and in all probability some fragments or
| spners of the ramrod passed through the 'plura,
and pierced the lungs.
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
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 suffelings were almost intolerable.
My physicians meanwhile, paid the strlctest 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 to certainty, that inlam-
nation of the lungs was rapidly taking places and
that this would terminate my life in very short
time, was in the highest degree probable.
AT this critical stage messenger was despatched
to Cincinnati. and celebrated physician fthat ci-
ty was consulted. When he was made acquainted
with my situation, he remarked that nothing could
be done by medical aid, if the constitution itseli
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. Forunately,at this juncture saw one ofDr
Wistar's Pamphlets, entitled Family Medica
Guide or Treatise on consumption OF the Lungs
As | had often heard of dying men catching a
straws, | felt like doing so myself By the consent
of my physicians, sent to you for bottle of the
medicine described, viz: 'Wlstar's Balsam of Vile
> 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 med
cianl virtues of Wlstar's Basam.
Were it not from the external injury received
in my shoulder and arm, by the explosion, fee
confident that'I might have been working at nj,
trade, (Which is blacksmithing,) but this was pre-
vented.
By exposure, have since taken several severe
colds, and my only remedy has been 'the Bassm
And now most cordially recommend the Genu
ipe Wistar's Balsam 10 all who are afflicted with
colds, coughs or lung complaints. consider il an
