Mrs Harriet Cummings, Of Cincinnati,
Ohio, writes: Early last winter my
daughter was attacked with a severe cold,
which settled on her lungs. We tried
several medicines. none Of which seemed
to do her any good but she continued to
get worse, and finally raised large
amounts of blood from her lungs. We
called in a family physician, but he failed
to do her any good. At this time friend,
who had been cured of DR.. VIM. Halls
Balsam for the Lungs; advised me to give
it a trial. We then got a bottle, and sho
began to improve, and by the use OF three
bottles was entirely cured.
