MEssRs. o. r. BAKER d Co.-Dear Sirs:-I
have always had objections to having my name in
any way attached to Patent Medicine. But
when think (as now have every reason TO be-
lieve) it has saved my life, am induced by a
sense of duty to those afflicted, as | have been,
to make my case known, and recommend your
Balsam as a medicine that can be relied on
About year since | was attacked with Lung
Fever, which left my lungs much diseased; my
cough was distressing attended with pain in my
left side | had seen Wistar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry pulled up in the papers, and | concluded
to try it. used bottle after bottle, which in taste
and operation resembled psregoric, soothing tenn
porarily. My disease had by this time become
firmly seated. had cold night sweats, hectic
fevers, swelling of the limbs, DC. showing con-
fmed consumptpn! The remedies obtai ned
from my physician also failed giving me perma-
nent relief or benefit, my lungs now liberated,
and raised large quantities of ma ter from them.
The Doctor told my friends that | must die! My
brother then got bottle Of Dr.. Halls Balsa,n for
the Lungs, and commenced taking it. At first
it sckened me, but after taking more, found it
went to the spot-the very seat of my disease.
began to raise with more ease, and could feel
that my lungs were healing, until by the use of
four bottles, was restored to better health than
| had enjoyed for years. | believe that if had
used Dr. Hall's Balsam when was first attacked,
lit would have saved me from vast deal of suf-
fering. All can say to others is try it and
think you will be benefited if your disease is on
your lungs. J. Z. WILLARD,

tits estimated that 150 900 persons die annually
in the United States with consumption, and Pro-
fessor Eberly says that vast number of these
could have been saved by the timely use of some
prompt remedy.
DR.. HALLS BALSAM strikes at the root of
the Disease at once, and dsuch is its speedy effect,
that any one using it freely, according to drec-
tions for "a or 4S hours, and not being entirely
satisfied with its merits, may return it and receive
back their money. Their MONEY WILL BE
CHEERFTLLY REFUNDED. The most dis
tressing cough IS frequently relieved by single
dose, and broken up in few hours time The
afflicted do not have to take bottle after bottle
before they find whether this remedy will afford
relief or not.

The TREATISE on CONSUMPTION alone is
worth more than the price Of this medicine. You
will find certificates of Physicians in Cincinnati,
and of others whose cures have been effected here
at home, where they can be found.
The public have been imposed upon by rene.
dies recommended by certificates which have al
ways originated from some unknown source We
believe that MEDICINE POSSESSING REAL
MERITS will effect cures wherever it is used, at
home as well as abroad. This is no Paregoric
preparation, but one which if used in season will
save the lives of thousands; and persons MAY
MAKE THIS BARGAIN WITH AGENTS from
whom they purchase, that in every case where il
is used freely according 10 directions and entire
satisfaction is not given in "a or 4S hours, they
can return the medicine, and their MONEY will
be cheerfully refunded.

Highest Mountain in the United Stat5s.

The California papers give an account ot
the ascent Of one of the Oregon Peaks, known
as Mount Hood, which has been asccrtaincd
by measurement to be 1s,3Gl fcet.--This is
tc highest peak on the North American con
tincnt, and one Of the highest in the world.
The mountain was asccrtained to be volcanic,
smoke being seen TO issue from the summit,
The peak of Mount Hood is thus described {:
1--WE found the top similar to that of Mt.
Enthusiastically narrow, lying in crcs-
cent shape. Mt. st. llelcns facing the north
west by crescent, while Mount Hood faces
the southwest. The sharp ridge on the top
runs from the southwest to the north, maxi
ing sharp turn to the west at the north end.
The main ridge is formed of decomposed vol
canic substances, of light reddish color,
which comes from 20 to 80 feet high at inter.
walls Of a few rods.
"Thcse cones or rocks are full of cracks or
fissures, as if they had been rent by some
convulsion of nature at n remote period. Be-
tween these cones there are numerous holes,
varying from the size Of a common water
bucket down to two or three inches in diam
ctcr. Through these breathing holes-as we
shall call them and through the creyiccs in
the rocks, there is constantly escaping hot
smoke or gas Of strong sulphuric odor, In
passing over the ridge for near half mile.
We discovered a large number of these brca-
thing holes; through some tho heat was
more intense than through Others
"We did not carry up a thermometer, and
therefore coul, not get the exact degree Of
the heat; but from holding our hand over
several Of them, we have no doubt that the
thermometer would have shown Boiling heat
in some Of them" gl a
