Sir,—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
Imo ; 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,
