Mr. 11. M. Bowman—Dear Sir:—l feel it my duty to let
you know what your compound has done for mv daugh
ter, and wish you to publish it if you can in hope that
some suffering one may be induced by it to try your val
uable medicine and be cured My daughter was married
in 1653, and went to Cincinnati to live, where her hus
band (James llojt.) was engaged in business. In six
months after her husband died, and I sent for her to come
borne, w here in four months she wasconfined and caught
cold which settled on her lungs. It seemed as though we
could gel nothing to help her. We tried six different
physicians tor over one year and then sent to New York
in a celebrated physician there, and she took medicine
from him for eight months; but he could not cure her. —
Her cough was hied and stubborn and seemed as though
it would tear her breast during the paroxysm of cough,
and her breathing as at times very difficult. Failing to
get relief from physicians, we thought we would try Ay
er's Cherry Pectoral, and she took it regular for seven
weeks, but it did her no permanent good. We then tried
tellers' Imperial Cough Syrup, but with all she still be
came worse, and it seemed a though she was beyond
cure, when one day my wile was in at one of our neigh
bor's houses (Mr M-iyness') and she saw- them give your
Vegetable Compound to one of their children for a cough
and she got three or four doses to bring home and try it.
After my daughter had taken it she breathed a little eas
ier, and we sent and got a bottle of it, and when it was
taken there was a marked change fjr the belter. I iheu
got six bottles, the most of which she tuok as directed
until finally cured —it is three months since, and she has
not had a symptom of the old complaint, and is gelling as
lusty as she ever was. We all unite in our prayers to
God th3l you may be prospered and that your Vegetable
Compound may be the means of restoring health to many.

Last spring, while in Pittsburgh, I had a bad cuid and

Office* Best door t the Poit Office, !fo. S3 Dock Street, Philadelphia.
INTEREST FIVE PER CENT.
All Sums of Money Returned on Demand.
THE STATE PAVINGS FUND. No S3, Dock Street, next door to Third Street, and adjoining the Post Office,
receives Money on deposit daily, from St in the morning until 3 in the afternoon; also Monday evenings from 7 to
j 9 o'clock. Interest is allowed on deposits at the rate of FIV E PER CENT, per annum. Deposits will be return
; ed in whole or in part oti demand, without notice.
The popularity of this Office with all classes of the community, both in town and country, and us consequent
success, may be ascribed, in part, to the following substantial reasons .
Ist. It offers a convenient, responsible, and profitable Depository to Executors, Administrators, Assignees, Col
; lectors, Agents, and all public officers—to Aitoi neys, Trustees, Societies and Associations, whether iucorfiorated or
otherwise—to married or single ladies—to Students. Merchants, Clerks, ami business men generally—to Mechan
' ics, Farmers. Minors of either sex. and all who have funds, much or little, to deposit, where they may be had at any
i time with Five per cent, interest added.
2d Depositors r<*>ive Books, with an abstract of the By-Laws and regulations, in whi his entered their depos
-1 its, which Books serve as vouchers. They may designate, in case of sickness, death, or absence, who shall receive
I their deposits, without the intervention of Executors or Administrators. Any one or more persons may deposit in
j his, her, or their name, or for any other person or persons.
! 3d. A Report is made each year to the Legislature and Councils of the City.
4th The Officers are sworn before they enter upon their duties, in addition to giving Bonds with sureties.
| sth. The State Savings Fund is a real Sav ings Fund—nor an Insurance and Trust Company. Our large list of
> Depositors and the Philadelphia public, have been careful to observe that the charter avoids the business and risk
I of insurance.
' 6th. In order to afford every reasonable facility to Depositors who reside at a distance from the office, their de
| posits are permitted to be withdrawn by checks, after the manner customary with the Banks. Check Books will be
i furnished to depositors without charge.
! The popular patronage hestowari upon this office hy a proverbially cautious and discriminating community, and
j where the character of the institution is best known, is a gratifying fact to which the Trustees desire to caliatten
