Splitting of Blood,

NIGHT SWEATS AND PAININ THE SIDE.
Jonathan Haworth. Esq. the well known Tenn
perance Lecturer. was attacked with cold from
sleeping in damp sheets, in the winter of 1871. He
neglected it at first. but soon found it assuming
somewhat alarming aspect, and then resorted to
the various remedies usually recommended for lung
complaints. When one thing failed he tried an
other, until ne had exhausted his patience and the
whole catalogue of remedies. His cough was al
most incessant, so that he could get little or no
sleep-attended with pain in his side, splitting of
blood night sWeats, and all the usual symptoms OF
Consumption. While at Rome, IN " he felt that
his end was nigh--that in that place he must soon
end his journey of life. Providentiaily, lady
who visited him advised trial of DR. Sherman's
Cough LoZenges. lie accordingly sent and got
box, and the first dose gave him more relief than
all the other medicines he used before. By the
time he had taken one small box, ne was able to
start for the city of New York, and in three weeks
time he perfectly restored to his usual health
He often announces the fact to his hearers, when
iecurlng on Temperance, and says he owes his
life to DR. Shermans Lozenges
From the Cincinnati Daily Times, OF Jan. Rh lSll

in attending to cough, has laid the foundation for
consumption. Our family has not escaped the
general a1liction, but owing to remedy, used
for the first time, they were speedily cured. Sher-

TO try, proved what they represented to be, and
