Longparish House, near Whitchareh, Hants, Oct. 21,1646.
Slr,—l cannot resist informing you of the extraordinary effect that
I have experienced by taking only a few of your Lozenges. I had a
cough for several weeks, that defied 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,
I'. HAWKER.

On the subject of the money market, the Courier and
Inquirer says—
" Foreign Exchange was less in demand to-day, and sellers
of bills on London were more readily found at 61,E than
buyers; and the opinion seems to be entertained in some
well•informed quarters, that the rate will recede below 6. If,
however, another opinion which is gaining strength be accu-
rate, that through the large issues of Treasury notes and
other causes, there is to be an abundant money market,
Foreign Exchange can hardly fall so low. We shall see."
