—65, Piccadilly, London, Bth November, 1847.—Gentlemen,
—Having been for a long time a great sufferer from piles and
severe constipation of the bowels, I commenced taking, about
three weeks ago, the " Revalenta Arabica" twice a day,
morning and night, and have continued it daily. The result
induces me herewith to express my unbounded gratitude. My
bowels and stomach begin to remind mo of what 1 was years
ago ; in fact, I am fast approaching complete restoration to
the enjoyment of functions without which life is but a pain-
ful burden. No medicine has ever done me the good I have
derived from the Revalenta. Digestion has in reality in my
case begun new. With many thanks, &e.,—WILLIAM PATCHING.
