Ertraet Of a Letter from Gentleman in Dayton, o.
DAYTON, May l, ls47.
~DR A. M. MAuRIcEAu-Afy Dear Sir; The
Married Woman's Private Medical Companion for
which enclosed one dollar to your address, came
safely to hand. would not have troubled you with
these few lines, but that am impelled by sense
of gratitude for myself and wife, to give utterance
to our sincere and heartfelt emotions.
"My wife has been perceptibly sinking Tor some
three years or more in consequence OF her great an
guish and suffering some months before and during
confinement; every successive one more and more
debilitated and Frustrated her, putting her life in I'M
mnent DANGER and which was on the last occasion,
despared Of Isupposed that this state of things was
inevitable, and resigned myself to meet the worst.
At this time (now about two monthsl heard your
book highly spoken Of as containing. some matters
reaching my case On its receipt and perusal, can
not express to you the reefit afforded my distressed
mind and the Joy its pages impaired to my wife, on
learning that the great discovery of M. M. Desc
meaux provided a remedy. 1t opened prospect to
me which little conceived was possible. No pecu.
mary consideration ever repay the obligations
am under to you for having been the means of inn
parting to US the matters contained in The Married
Woman's Private Medical Companion. But for
this ere another year would have passed over my
head, in all human probability my wife would have
been in her grave and my children left motheres."

DIR. WIsTAR's BALsAM OF WILD
CHERRY

rs chemical extract of Wild Cherry and Tar.
Il Every body knows that Wild Cherry possesses
important medicinal properties; and Tar Water
has always been administered in Consumption and
lung affections generally, by Oldest and safest
physicians. Various remedies, il is true, have been
offered and pulled into notoriety for the cure Of
diseases of the lungs, and some have been found
doubt very useful but of all that have yet been
discovered, it is admitted by physicians and all
who have witnessed its effects that none has proved
as successful this. For Asthma, Shortness of
Breath, and similar affections, it may be pronounced
a positive cure. Ii has cured Asthma in many
cases Of ten and twenty years standing, after ply
sicians had declared the case beyond the reach of
medicine.
This balsam is made from materials which Ma
ture has placed in all northern latudes as an anti
dote for diseases caused by cold climates.
