Mr.. H. NJ. BowMAE-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 and be cured. My daughter was mar
ried in 1853; and went to Cincinnati to live,
where her husband DANES Hoyt,) was enga-
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 medicin e
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 neighbor's houses (Mr Mayness,) and she
saw them give your Vegetable Compound tc
one of their children Tor cough and she got
three or four doses to bring home and try it
After my daughter had taken it she breathed
a little easier and We sent and got bottle o
it, and when it was taken there was marked
change for the better. then got six bottles
the most of which she TOOK as directed unit
finally cured-tis three months since she ha'
not had symptom of the old complaint, anC
she is getting as lusty as she ever was. W
all unite in our prayers to God that you may b.
prospered and that your Vegetable COMPOUND
may be the means of restoring health to many
) as it has to one who is dear to us we cheer
; fully recommend it to the public as the bes
medicines for Lung Diseases that we ever go
hold of. Try it suffering one and see. Believ
me, my dear Sir to ever remain
your earnest friend, THos. H. BANKS.
