MESSRS YOUNG & CBAMBERLIN, —S rs, I feel it a duty I owe to you, as well as to the public to inform you of the most -wonderful cure of Consumption, accomplished in my person, by the use of the Great Shoshonees Remedy and Pills. I coughed a great deal day and night, expectorating a great quanti- ty of matter, and had a great pain about my left lung. I had cold chills every day, and severe night sweats every night, and. between the rackingcough and great sweating, I was almost deprived of sleep ; by these miseries as well as the loss of appetite, I was so ae- duced that I could. hardly stand alone.. I= was under the care of a physician for a length of time, and finding no relief, I tried different receipes, but all without any good effect. Squire Peterson of Bath, re- commended me to use the Great Shoshonees Remedy; I procured three bottles at once, • with the Pills, so soon as I commenced using it I began tiget better, and:when I had fin- ished this conaplement, the cough, expectora- tien of matter, pain about the lung'chills, sweating, &c., left me; and by continuing its use I became strong and healthy. It is now over two months since I quit the reme- dy, and there have been nosymptoms of the disease returning, and I have been, and am ilow, healthier and better than I have been Ebr years. 1 trust you will make this known #o the public that thecy may be aware of the peculiar virdies of thiik. truly wonderful In- dian Remedy. . .
