13IT IS A FIXED FACT!—CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED!
15SIR JAMES CLARK, Physician to Queen Victoria, and one of the most learned and skillful men of the age, in his "Treatise" on Consumption, says: "That Pulmonary Consumption admits of a cure, is no longer a matter of doubt; it has been clearly demonstrated by the researches of Lacnnec and other modern pathologists." DR. CARSWELL, who investigated such matters probably as thoroughly as any man, says; "Pathological Anatomy has, perhaps, never afforded more conclusive evidence in proof of the curability of a disease than it has in that of tubercular phthisis," (pulmonary consumption.)
17THE REMEDY WHICH WE OFFER,
18DR. WISTAR'S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY,
19Has cured thousands of cases of Consumption of the Lungs, Liver Complaints, Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Croup, Bronchitis, Whooping Cough, Influenza, &c., many of them, after every known remedy had failed to reach the disease.
21We can present a mass of evidence in proof of our assertion, that cannot be discredited. DR. BOYDEN, a Physician in Maine, says:—"I have recommended the use of Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry for diseases of the Lungs for two years past, and many bottles to my knowledge have been used by my patients, all with beneficial results. In two cases, where it was thought Confirmed Consumption had taken place, the Wild Cherry effected a cure." The following letter from Rev. HENRY WOOD, of Concord, N. H., formerly Editor of the Congregationalist, and late Minister to Bayroot, Syria, is one among the mass of testimonials as to the merits of the Balsam:
23CONCORD, N. H., March 2.
24Mr. S. W. Fowle:—Dear Sir,—Two years ago, a sudden and violent attack upon my lungs confined me to my bed for several weeks; and when I recovered I was so much oppressed by difficulty of breathing, that I was unable to sleep or rest upon a bed at night. The suffering was extreme, and judging from the inefficacy of the remedies used, I supposed the disease incurable. Being persuaded to try a bottle of WISTAR'S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY, without the least confidence in its efficacy, I found the difficulty almost entirely removed before one bottle was used up. Having a moral aversion to medicine, and seldom using it in any form, sympathy with my fellow-sufferers induces me to make this public statement, and recommend the article to others similarly afflicted. Yours, &c., HENRY WOOD.
26FIFTY THOUSAND PERSONS die annually in England of CONSUMPTION! In the New England States, the proportion is one to four or five. The mere fact that such a disease is ever curable, attested by such unimpeachable authority, should inspire hope, and reanimate failing courage in the heart of every sufferer from this disease. This Balsam has been prepared by S. W. FOWLE & Co., Boston, for the last 15 years, from the original recipe of Dr. MULAR, and has always the written signature of "I. BUTTS," on the wrapper.—None other genuine. All other is spurious and deleterious.
