I took a slight cold, which produced a haelt;ng etru . gh;

between my shoulders; general debility followed.
was confined to my room about eight weeks. I bard
buriitd it sister and brother, both died with Consump
tioit: 1 espected to die myself; my friends also des
paired of oily life. At this time, an uncle, who had
been benefited himself, advised me to take Dr Wistar's
Balsam of Wild Cherry. I accordingly procured a
bottle, took it, and felt some better, obtained another,
and a third; then I ceased to bleed, and my cough was
better; but my disease was in deeply rooted, I was
obliged to continue taking the Balsam, until I had ta
ken seven bottles. I ran honestly and truly say, I
