For Severe Coughs and Lung Complaints.
CANTON. Pa Nov 2H. 1879

Messrs Seth w. Fowle & Sons, Boston,
Gentlemen-About ten years ago, after hav-
ing had severe attack of the measels, was
troubled with q severe cough, and was threat
ened with consumption. Ny father having
died at the age of thirty-one with consumption
of the lungs, and my aunt having been carried
off with the same complaint, it seems to be
hereditary in our family. At the time alluded
to, 1 was induced to buy bottle Of DR.. Wistar's
Balsam of Wild Cherry, and can say conscien-
tiously. I believed it saved my life. 1 was
blacksmitbing at the time, and often felt pains
in my chest and lung, which the Balsam re-
lieved. 1 cheerfully give this statement, and
hope you may have success with SO beneficial a
preparation. Yours truly, A. ]. Merritt.

Gen. F. A. Walkers article in The Inte1na-
tiondl Rerie,o, just published, upon the display
of goods and wares at the Philadelphia Worlds
Fair, last year, points out the gratifying fact,
that in several prominent mechanical specialties
the long established supremacy of this country
is easily shown to be unimpaired. In reapers,
locks, sofas and sewing machines America leads
the worl J, while in scales for commercial use,
Gen. Walker says that "time and recent inven-
ton have not impaired the superiority of Ameri-
can goods: The great house which was founded
maintains the positive merit of its productions,
but ships its goods to every quarter of the
globe"
