Dear Sir As you arc the regular authorized
gent in Dayton, for the sale ci sDr Wintar's Bal
sam Of Wild herry,,' take this method Of ma
king statement Of facts 10 you (Which ! hope
NAV Be publish cd 70 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 sautary effects 1t produced,
and the great benefit derived from II.
The citizens OF Dayton and vicinity well recol-
ect that on the 9th Of August last, received se-
rious injury BY the explosion Of cannon por.
ltion of its contents entered my right side and
sieast! and in all probability some fragments or
spliners Of the ramrod passed through the 'plura,
and pierced the lungs. - sa
After the lapse OF about six weeks. ] was at
tackled with distressing cough ard violent pain
I in my right side. Some ten days after this, when
in paroxysim Of coughing, suddenly an ulce
broke, and large quantity OF very offensive mat
ter mixed with blood. most Of which found pasr
sage through the opening Of the wound. From
this opening there frequently passed quantity
| ofair, supposed to issue from the lungs During
all this time my suferings were most inolerable.
NV physiciane, meanwhile paid the stricsest Of
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. Il was visited during
this time by at least twenty Physicians.
Ii was now reduced to certainty, thatinhaun-
tisn of the Lungs was rapidly taking place; and
at this would terminate mylife in a very short
me- wac IN the highest degree prob able.
At this critical stage q messenger was des.
patched to incinnati, and celebrated physician
{ that place was consulted. When he was made
cquainted with my situation, he remarked that
nothing could be done by medical aid, II the con-
sIitution itself was not sufficient to throw of the
! disease
Nv friends now despaired Of my recovery, and
i had no earthly ground Of hope to survive many
days. Fortunately at this Juncture, saw one o.
Or. Wistar's Pamphlets. ent;tlde "FaIniy Med
\ Iicai Guiae,n or "Treatise on consumption of the
Lungs.n AS had often heard Of dying men
"catching at straws.' felt like doing so myself
by the coneent ofmy physician,l sent to YOU
| for bottle of the medicine described viz: "Wis
tar's Basam of WilS cherry" which relieved m
almost Immediately. Af.er had used some fiv.
or six bottles. Ihad SO far recovered as to be u
and about. My cough ceased, and my lungs wer
restored to healthy state--all from the healin
1 and balmy influence, and powerful medicinal vir
tues Of Wistar's Balsam
Were it not for the external injury received
i in my shoulder and arm by the explosion, fee
i confident that might have been working OF m,
t.ade, (Which is blacksmithing,) but this ha
prevented.
By exposure, have since take n several sever
colds; my only remedy has been the. Basam.'
| And now most cordially recommend the genuin,
Wstar's Balsam to all who are afflicted with colds
coughs or Lung complaints. ] consider il IN IN
valuable medicines real blessing to the world
Any person desiring further information may ca
on me at any time. Yours, truly, w "
