Mr.. H. NJ. BowMAN-Dear Sir IL feel it my
| duty TO letyou know what your Compound has
done for my daughter, ard wish you to pu blisl1
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 1852 and went to Cincinnati to live,
where her husband (James 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. It
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 cele-
bratad Physician there, and she took medicine
from him for eight months but he could not
cure her. Her cough was fixed and stubborn
aud 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
saw them give your Vegetable Compound to,
one of their children Tor a cough and she got
three or four doses TO bring home and Try it :.
After my daughter had taken it she breathel
a little easier and We sent and got bottle Of
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 until
finally cured-it is three months since she has
not had symptom of the old complaint and
she is getting as lnsty as she ever was We
all unite in oul prayers to God that you may be
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 best
medicines for Lung Diseases that we ever got
hold Of Try 1T suffering one and see. Believe
me, my dear Sir to ever remain .,... ,,....
your earnest friend, Tuos II. BANKS.
