| Mr.. J. w. Whitmore:
| Dear Sr--As you are the regular authorized a.
gent in Dayton, for the sale Of sDr. Wistar's Bal
sam OF Wild herry,n take this method Of ma
| king statement of facts to you (Which hope
| may be published to the world) in reference to an
almost Miraculous cure, wrought in my case by
| means of the above invaluable Balsam. Language
fails to describe the salutary effects it produced,
and the great benefit derived from it.
| Tho citizens of Dayton and vicinity well recol-
lect that on the 9th Of August last, received Sc
rious injury by the explosion of a cannon. Apor-
ton 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 at
tackled with distressing cough ard 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 mat
| ter mixed with blood, most Of which found pas
| sage through the opening Of the wound. From
this opening thele frequently passed quantity
of air, supposed to issue from the lungs. During
all this time my sufferings were most intolerable.
NY physciane, 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
reach the seat OF distress. / was visited during
this time by atleast twenty Physicians
| II was now reduced to certainty, that inAama-
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
! At this critical stage messenger was des-
patched to Cincinnati, and a celebrated physician
Of that place was consulted. When he was made
)acquainted with my situation, he remarked that
nothing could be done by medical aid, if the con-
stituton itself was not sufficient to throw of the
disease
NY friends now despaired of my recovery, and
had no earthly ground of hope to survive many
days. Fortunately at this luncture, | saw one o.
Or. Wistar's Pamphlets, .ent;tde .Family Med
ical Guioe,'' or "Treatise on consumption Of the
Lungs.n AS / had often heard of dying men
"catching. at straws.n felt like doing so myself
BY the conGent OF my physican, / sent TO you
for bottle of the medicine described wiz "Wis-
tar's Balsam of Wild berry," which relieved me
almost Immediately. After / had used some Fl We
or six bottles. had SO far recovered as to be uf
land about. My cough ceased, and my lungs were
restored to healthy state-all from the healing
ard balmy influence, ndpowerful medicinal yir
tues of Wistars Balsam.
Were it not for the external injury received
in my shoulder and arm by the explosion, fec
confident that might have been working at my
trade, (Which is black ksmithing,) but this hal
prevented.
By exposure, have since taken several sever.
colds; my only remedy has been the" Balsam.'
And now most cordially recommend the genuin,
Wistar's Balsam to all who are afflicted with colds
coughs or Lung complaints. consider it an in
valuable medcine--a real blessing to the world
Any person desiring further information May cal
on me at any time. Yours, truly,
CHRISTOPHER R. SMITH.
