he remained two months, but found his disease
still growing worse. He then tried the Thompso-
mans, and persevered ia the use of their remedies
for ten weeks, without any relief. He next tried
adv ertised remedies with no better success. The
disease continued progressing gradually until he
took a fresh cold, he then commenced sinking fast
losing in a short period over thirty pounds in
weight. He then tried the Homeopathy system for
three months, at the end of which time he was re-
duced to mere skeleton. At this critical stage of
his disease, with scarcely any hope of help, he
commenced using the Balsam of Wild Cherry, and
in IL weeks by the use of this Balsam, he was re-
stored to health, and at the present time has not a
symptom of the disease in any form.
