RAISING BLOOD & CONSUMPTION
Mr.. Mime, Builder, in Brooklyn, was
attacked with raising blood, followed by
a cough, pain in the side, and oil the u
suaL symptoms of consumption. He en-
ployed two of the best physicians; they
did him no good, and tod him he could
not Ire.
Hearing of the wonderful cures per-
formed by Sherman's Balsam, he sent at
10 o'clock at night to Mrs. Hayes, 1856
Fulton street, and got bottle; it operated
like charm, stopped the bleeding and
cough Before he had taken one bottle
he was able to be about his work 1t had
saved his life. His daughter, residing at
127 Myrtle Avenue, can attest it.
Miss Ann Maston, of Williamsburg
living in Tenth, near South Fourth ST.,
says-That she had been troubled with a
hacking cough, and pain in the chest, for
a long time, which at last become so bad
that she was obliged to give up her school
for more than year. She then COM
menced taxing the All-Healing Balsam
which soon alleviated her symptoms
She is now fast recovering, and has re-
sumed her laborious occupation as a teach
er.
IA years Mr.. John O'Neil, 10th ave-
nue. and 2Ist street, suffered with cough,
raising of phlegm, and pain in his side.
He could get no relief til he tried the
ALI Healing Balsam, which drove the pain
from his side, allayed the cough, and
brought the disease upon the surface; and
before he had taken three bottles, was
entirely cured.

siding SS Sheriff street, has for years been
