to Give under his own signature. we make It
pro bono publlco as we have never seen the pro-
prietor of this invaluable medicine, and know
nothing about him. About four weeks since, one
of the compositors in this office was suffering so
badly from a cough that he was unable to sleep at
NIGHTS, and too weak to stand at his case. He
became very pale and thin, and gave symptoms OF
falling victim to quick consumption. we re-
commended to him various medicines which had
no effect. Finally We gave him one bottle OF
WISTAR'S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY (;
it afforded him immediate relief, and ne Is now
we'll man, gaining in flesh, with ruddy complex
ion, and not the slightest symptom OF cough
These are facts, and furthsr particulars may be
learned at this office. We should add that the
cough was accompanied by protuss splitting OF
