TO 711 R. CONGAFTP.

Air,—Having had a bad Cough, which continued a
month, and baffled all attempts to cure it, I was recom-
mended to try your Balsamic Elixir, which I did ; and OM
happy to say, that by taking one bottle the Cough was to-
tally removed. I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
Gloucester-place, Westmoreland-road,

Walwjrth, Aug. 1, 1827.
N. B. The Proprietor is only at liberty to print the par-
ticulars of this cure as above ; but the original letter may
be seen, with many others, at the Depot, 22, Chancery-lane.

TO MR. Cl/NCI:EVE.

Sir,—l have for some years been afflicted with a most
♦iolent Asthmatic Cough, to such a degree,' as to be most
distressing to all around me; and having had medical ad-
vice, and tried almost every remedy my friends suggested
to me for its removal without effect, I abandoned the hope
of recovery as a vain idea. A friend of mine having de-
rived considerable benefit himself from a few doses of _•our
valuable Medicine, prevailed upon me to give it a trial,
though it was contrary to my inclination, as it appeared
that nothing lint a miracle could cure me. I found almost.
immediate relief from it, sty Cough gradually abated, and
at length subsided ; and a steady perseverance until I had
taken two bottles, has fully completed the long desired, but
unexpected cure; so that I am a wonder to myself and
those about me, particularly at my advanced age of
life. You are at liberty to make what use of this letter
you may approve of, for the benefit of mankind similarly
affected. lam Sir, your bumble servant,

Primrose-hill, Salisbury-square,

SARAH CHASE.

SO MR. CONGKItTE.

Sir,—l have had a violent Asthma and Dry Cough from
fifteen years of age, and have tried every remedy prescribed
for me, and recommended, without receiving real benefit.
And this autumn the attack has been more than usually
severe, for I may in truth say, that never in my life have
I suffered so much from it. For a week together I dare
not lie down in my bed for fear of strangulation, and have
been propped up in bed for weeks together from that cause.
Hearing of your Balsamic Elixir, by persuasion of a friend
my husband went to your house and purchased a
small 2s. Pd. bottle immediately, which I took to
my great relief and astonishment at the wonderful
effects it produced. It surpasses all the prescriptions
ever made up for me in my life. I am now in
the fortieth year of my age, and my employment is
that of a laundress. What I have suffered from my com-
plaint no one but God can tell or judge. The attack of
my asthma and labour of breathing was beyond every
tiling bad this autumn. But thank God for your valuable
Medicine; for if I had not found it out when I did, to the
comfort of myself and friends around me, I could not have
survived long. I feel very thankful for such golden drops
of comfort as they have been to me. My cough began to
abate gradually from the first dose of your Elixir that I
took. The third night I went to bed with the greatest
composure; and though I was brought very weak, and
my shortness of breath made my life a burden to me from
the excess of my complaint, yet 1 slept until five o'clock
in the morning without coughing or even waking, to the
greatest joy of myself and husband, who had not received
any rest for many nights before. lam now, after taking
only three small bottles, in better health than at any for -
mer period in my life, and am completely cured of my coin-
plaiut.
Sir, I have sent you this CaSe, desiring, yon to publish
it for the benefit of the afflicted, as it has raised me from
the jaws of the grave to soundness of health ; and I can
go about my employment without the least shortness of
breath, or even inclination to cough, which is what I have
not done fur many, many year., I shall be glad to answer
any inquiry. Your humble servant,
4, Lerner Bland-street, CHARLOTTE SIBURN.
