and also communicated to my lungs and very
much afflicted Them and discharged large qt,an-
titles Of corruption, external and internal. MY
breath could also pass through my lungs and out
through the cavity Of my breast with apparent
ease, attended with violent cough, day and
nights loss Of appetite, and extreme debility, 80
that my physician thought mylcase entirely hope
less, and beyond the power OF medicine. re-
manned in this wretched condition for long
time untiI was wasedI to a mere skeleton, and
there seemed TO be no hope for me; but having
read in the public papers Of the many wonderful
cures performed by your COMPOUND SYRUP
or WILD CHERRY, immediately sent TO BAL
more for Ave bottles and commenced Its use, and
to my great satisfaction and the joy OF my Hnx-
ious family, the abscess or opening in my lungs
began TO heal and the cough to shbside, and on
using ten bottles, was restored 70 perfect health
liable medicine, under the blessing Of Divine
Provddeoe / am indebted for this great change
