Many of the thousand portals of Death may
be closed, and life made happier and
more comfortable to thousands who
are now in danger. Doubtless this
worldte6ntains many balm TO
sooth its physical woes Il cure
its diseases. Among. those
in prominent rank stands
Bowman's Vegetable Compound
A SAFE AND SPEEDY CURE for
a Consumption, not only in those milder
forms of Throat and Lung Diseases, such
as Colds, Coughs, Quinsey, Difficulty OF
Breathing, Bronchitis, Ministers Sore
Throat, Weakness of the Chest, Asthma,
Inward Ulcer, Splitting of Blood, Influenza,
Group, Whooping-Cough, pain in the Breast
and Side, Hoarseness, Catarrh and Catarrh-
al Affections, inflammation OF the Lungs,
Bleeding of the Lungs and such like. But
its superior excellence is seen and tested
in the more advanced affections of the
Lungs. For the truth of the above state
ment and the efficiency of the preparations
as an antidote, we refer the public to the
following testimonials.
Language is scarce strong enough to tell
the great power. of this wonderful discovery!
The doubling may try and be convinced.

Mr. H. NJ. BowMAN--Dear Sir IL feel it my
duty to let you know what your Compound has
done for my daughter, ard wish you to pu blish
it if you can in hope that some suffering one
may be induced by it, to try your valuable
medicine aud be cured My daughter was mar
ried in 1858; and went to Cincinnati to live,
ged in business. In six months after, her hus.
band died, and sent for her to come home,
where in four months she was confined and
caught cold which settled on her lungs. 1t
seemed as though we could get nothing to help
her. We tried six different Physicians for over
one year and then sent TO New York to a cele.
brated Physician there, and she took medicine
from him for eight months but he could not
cure her. Her cough was fixed and stubborn
and seemed as though it would tear her breast
during the paroxysm of cough, and her breath.
ing was at times very difficult. Failing to get
relief from Physicians, we thought we would
try Ayers Cherry Pectoral, and she took it
regular for seven weeks, but it did her no per.
manent good We then tried Sellers Imperial
Cough Syrup, but with all she still became
worse and it seemed as though she was beyond
, cure, when one day, my wife was in at one of
our neighbours houses (Mr. Mayness,) and she
j saw them give your Vegetable Compound to
, one of their children ior cough and she go
three or four doses to bring home and try it
> After my daughter had taken it she breathed
little easier aud we sent and got bottle o.
/ it, and when it was taken there was a marked
change for the better. then got six bottles
5 the most of which she took as directed unit
finally cured-it is three months since she ha!
not had symptom OF the old complaint, ant
she is getting as lusty as she ever was. W.
all unite in our prayers to God that you may b.
prvspered and that your Vegetable COMPOUND
J may be the means of restoring health to many
i as it has to one who is dear to us we cheer
p fully recommend it to the public as the bes
y me licines for Lung Diseases That we ever 60
0 hold of. Try 1t suffering one and see. Believ
: me, my dear Sir to ever remain
!. your earnest friend, THos. b. BANKS.
