remarks;
We are authorised to say lha, although

said between them in regard to the Piesi

by Judge Mclean from Gov. Seward in
which the Presidency is named. In this
Gov. Seward says in relation to the Prcsi.

SO great has been the demand for Foger's Olo-
saonian, or Al-Healing Balsam and 1t has given
such general satisfaction to those VINO have used
it and become acquainted with its virtues, that it
now stands pre-eminent as a Remedy in DIS
EASES of the LUNGS, and the testimony which
has been given by different persons who have
been cured by it, is altogether voluntary on their
part They have given it in the hope that all who
may find themselves in need of this great remedy
may apply for it without delay.
Read the following letter received from the
Reu Mr. ShimeaH Pastor of St. Jude's Episco-
pal Free Church. Mr. S. has not used the med
icine himself, but has witnessed its effects in
several very trying cases of disease. The letter
will show his opinion of its virtues.
Dear Sir,-Beleving it to be but an act Of
common humanity to those suffering under the
various diseases Of Coughs, Colds, COnsumptiOns,
HOarSeneSS Asthma, dc to point them to safe,
speedy and radical remedy, take pleasure in
bearing my testimony to your invaluable medi-
cine called OlOsaOnian, or AN-healing Balsam
Ofits efficacy | can speak first from my own
perience. Being subject from exposure more or
less to the vicssitudes of our climate to frequent
attacks of Influenza Hoarseness, &C., have al
ways found it to afford almost instantaneous, and
always by perseverance in its use, effectual re-
lief. To particular friend of mine, suffering Sc
verely under Asthma, and who had despaired Of
obtaining relief from any human source, upon my
recommendation was induced to give the OIosao-
man trial, and he pronounced the effect produced
upon him perfect charm, affording him immedi-
ate, and almost incredible relief. In another in
stance recommended it to a female friend, far
advanced in Consumption. After the use of the
first bottle, her Cough was entirely removed. and
her appetite and strength restored to such a de-
gree as to astonish all who saw her. With long
cherished and firmly established prejudice against
the thousand and one specifics put forth in these
days, as sovereign panaceas for all diseases. |
assure you that nothing short of my firm convic-
ton of the claims of your medicine to an origin
respectable, and to the effects of it as herein
titled both by my own experience and observa-
ton, could not have been induced thus to come
forward as a witness in its behalf
l have the honor to be sir, respectfully yours,
