cure IN It's victorious career
DAYTON, Feb. I1th, 1845.
Mr.. j. w. Whitmore-Dear Sir--As you are the
regular authorized agent in Dayton, for the sale Of
sDr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry take this
method of making statement of facts to you(w
hone will be published to the world,) in refer
ence to an almost miraculous cure wrought In my
case bv means of the most invaluable Balsam.
Language fails to describe the salutary effects it
produced and the great Benefit derived from its
use.
The citizens of Dayton and vicinity, well recol-
Iect that on the Sh of August last received Sc
rious injury from the explosion of cannon A
portion of its contents entered my right side and
! breast; 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, was attacked
with distressing cough and violent pain in my
right side Some ten days after this, when in a
| psroxysm of coughing, suddenly an ulcer broke
and large quantity OF very offensive matter, mix
ed with blood, was dscharged;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 intdlerable.
Ny 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
reaCD Inc seat Ol ulSlTeSS, pe-
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 place; and
that this would terminate my life in very short
time, in the highest degree probable
AT this critical stage,n messenger was despatched
to Cincinnati and celebrated physician of that 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 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 ,at 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
straws, felt like doing so myself. By the consent
of my physicians, sent to you for bottle of the
medicine described, viz: 'Wlstar's Basam 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 stateall from the
heallng and bamy influence, and powerful med-
canl virtues of Wlstar's Basam
Were it not from the external injury received
in Inv shoulder and arm, by the explosion, | feel
confident that might have been working al MY
trade, (Which is blacksmithing,) but this was pre-
vented -.'
BY exposure, have since taken several severe
colds, and my only remedy has been 'the Balssm.
And now most cordially recommend the Genu.
inc Wistar's Balsam 10 all who are afflicted with
colds, coughs or lung complaints. Iconsider it an
invaluable medicine-a real blessing to the world.
Any person desiring further information, may call
on me at any time. Yours, truly,
CHRISTOPHER R. SMITH.
