he was attended by many physicians Of he highest
repute, whose prescriptions gave but temporary
relief in fact, SO alarming were tbs SYMPTOMS, and
so inveterate was his disease, than wa compel
led to believe him beyond tie reach Of medical
aid.
All our neighbours wha saw him. regarded him
as one wha was rapidly approaching an early and
premature grave. After having thus exhausted
theIskill of our best physicians. without obtaining
relief, l was prevailed upon by the ADVICE of a
friend to make use Of Wistar's Baissm OF Wild
Cherry.

Der, 1874, the first bottle of which gave astonish-
ing relief, and begun again to indulge in the
fond hope that he might yet DO restored to health.
After having continued the use of it until three
bottles had peen taken, the disease was entirely
overcome, and his shattered constitution and
emaciated form restored to SQUAD and permanent
health, which he continues to enjoy up to the pre-
sent time.
