seated itself upon my lungs, and for the space Of

kinds of medicines and every variety of aid with
benefit; and thus weared along until the winter
of 1915, when heard Of Wistars BalSam of Wild
Cherry.
My friends persuaded me to give it fair trial,
though | had giveu up all hopes of recovery, and
had prepared myself for the change of another
world. Through their solicitations, | was in
duced to make use of the genuine WiStarS Bal

After five years of affection and suffering, ant
