WE ARE NOT IN THE HABIT of eulogizIng
any thing in the form Of "Patent Medicine" for
we have long been of the opinion that nothing but
a worthless nostrum needs the imposing name of
Patent to bring 1t into notice. Hence our hostility
has been strong and uncompromising against eve-
ry thing in the line. But at length our prejudices
have been forced to yield to the immense amount
of testimony in favor of cdr. Wistar's Balsam OF
Wild Cherry" Judging from what we have seen
and heard Of its effects, we pronounce it the most
fortunate combination Of medical agents ever dis
covered for the cure of Consumption; and indeed,
il appears to be perfectly master Of all pulmonary
complaints. We advise the public to make an
impartial and fair trial of it, and they will then
praise it more warmly than we have done.

The Lost is Found,

A short time since, a middle aged
man, named Vest, living near Worces-
ter, Mass, who was ignorant of his pa.
rentage, age. or name, having been, as
was supposed. stolen fIom his parents
by Indians, when about three years old,
published what he knew of himself, in
the Christian Waterman. The ac-
count, says the Springfield Post. was
extensively copisd, in the Western pa.
pers, and at last fell into the hands Of
an aged couple, now living in the town
Of Ontario, Wayne county, N. Y. who
had lost two children about the time it
is supposed he was carried away
They felt a great interest in the matter,
and the postmasters at Ontario and the
New England village opened a cores
pondence on the subject, which salts
fed the parties that they were related
as parents and child. Mr.. Vest, as the
lost person has always called himself,
has just returned from a visit to his
supposed parents, which has been sue
c%essful. The moment the mother saw
him, she tainted; but the mere cautious
son, fearing they might not be his pa
rents, required indubitable proof of tn
fact. The mother, with a mother's
memory, called up the remembrance of
those happy days, when she fondled
the son who hid been so numerically
torn from her bosom, and described the
mark upon his back, and scar of a
scald on his foot. The proof WIS suf-
fcient; and the mingled tears Of JOY,
and the long and alfeciionate embraces
of the parents and the child, told how
great was their rejoicing at this occur-
renee, when the supposed childless pa
rents, who had long mourned the alb.
sence Of a staff in their declining years,
were exulting in the possession Of a
son. and the nameless, homeless exile
from parental affection, and stranger to
the joys Of maternal love, rejoiced in
the possession Of the great boon Of
friendship. He ascertained that his
real name was JOHN M. WILSON, and
his age about 81 years.--N ew Hav. Reg.

Another Invalid restored to Health.
Tread the following statement offacts from Mr..
Eli Bailey, a highly respectable merchant Of Wen
ma, johnson county. %lllinois.l
Messrs Phelps & BlakesIey, StLouis, No.,
Gentlemen:-A desire ia benefit the afflicted
throughout the land has alone induced me to make
| the following statement of facts respecting one of
the most astonishing cures ever recorded: My sdn
now seventeen years old, has been afflicted during
his whole life with a constant cough, pain in the
side and chest, accompanied with night sweats and
hectic fever, which produced great emaciatipn
and debility: and at intervals during the night his
expectoration would become SO great as to endan-
ger his life fran strangulation. During this time
he was attended by many physicians afthe highest
repute, whose prescriptions gave but temporary
relief in fact, so alarming were the SYMPTOMS. and
so inveterate was his disease, than I was compel
led to believe him beyond the reach Of medical
aid. a
All our neighbours who saw him, regarded him
as one wha was rapidly approaching an early and
premature grave. After having thus exhausted
thejskill of our best physicians, without obtaining
relief, l was prevailed upon by the advice pf a
friend to make use of Wisfu's Balsam Of Wild
Cherry. hq
He commenced its use a%boutthe soth of Decem-
Der, 1874, the first bottle of which gave astonish-
ing relief, and l begun again to indulge in the
fond hope that he might yet be 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
health, which he continues to enjoy up to the pre-
sent time. y
believe the genius, DR.. Wistar's Balsam of
Wild Cherry, to be one of the most valuable me-
dicines ever discpvered-knowing, as | do, that
the above cure was effected solely by its use.
l am, gentlemen, very respectfully, s
Your most obedient servant ssE
April 8. 1916. ELI BAILEY.
DG-Cures similar to the above are constantly
being performed in all parts of the country, and
we should indeed be destitute of all feelings of
humanity, did we not call upon all who are %af1ict-
ed with pulmonary diseases to resort at once to
the use Of this, the only remedy that can be relied
upon for a cure.

Mr.. JOSEPH I. YoUNcLovE,-
Sir: As a duty | owe TO the community,
and particularly TO the afflicted. ! would state that
| had been for a number Of years laboring under
disease and weakness Of the lungs, which caused
me to cough a great deal, and produced consequent
debility of my system generally to such a degree.
that it was with difficulty I could walk to do which
even for a short distance, l experienced great ia
ligue. had various medicines recommended 10
me, which I used without any beneficial effects
whatever, until ] procured a bottle Of Wild Cherry.
The use of one bottle afforded relief, entirely re-
lieving me of cough, and restoring my lungs to
healthy action, The use Of il for a short time in.
creased my general health and strength to such an
extent that | was stronger and more healthy than I
had been for years before. From the trial have
made of the medicine, l can confidently recomend
it as a powerful tonic, certain cure for affections
