" Guns and Shooting."
Longparish House, near Whitehurch, Hants, Oct. 21,1846.
Slr,—l cannot resist intortning you of the extraordinary effect that
I have experienced by taking oily a few of your Lozenges. I had a
cough tor several weeks, that dolled all that had been prescribed for
me ; and yet I got completely rid of it by taking about half a small
box of your Lozenges, which I find are the only ones that relieve the
cough without deranging the stomach or digestive organs.
I am, Sir, your humble servant,
P. lIAWKER.
To Mr. Keating, 79, St. Paul's Churchyard.
