RAPID CURE of tOUGH & DIFFIcITLTY OF BREATHING
_ z Hale, near Liverpool.
. .

Sir,—l write to inform you ofAhe great benefit I have re-
ceived from taking Locock's yirfifers, which you recommended
to me. I was so much opprelssed at my chest that when I lay
down a coughing fit came'on with such violence that I have
often thought I should, hot live to see the morning; but now I
can sleep a whole night without coughing, after having taken
only two boxes of wafers. J. HAYNES.

ANOTHER CURE OF CONSUMPTIVE COUGH.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Thomas Dean, 150, Scotland-road,

Liverpool,
Gentlemen,—l have great pleasure in communicating to you
a case (among many) which came under my own observation.
A lady, who I can refer to, in her assiduous attendance upon
her husband during a long and fatal illness, caught cold, and
not having taken care of herself, it settled upon her lungs. She
was troubled with a dreadful cough, and every symptom of
consumption. She applied to her medical man, but did not
obtain any relief ; when, upon the recommendation of a friend,
she tried Dr. Locock's Wafers, which, from the commence-
ment, eased her cough, and by continuing them she is perfectly
cured. (Signed) THOMAS DEAN.

ANOTHER CURE OF COUGH AND HOARSENESS
Parliament-street, Liverpool.
. .

Sir,—lt is with much pleasure I bear testimongto thr:extra-
ordinary power of Locock's Wafers. I had been troubled with
a cough and hoarseness for nearly two years, without relief,
when I was induced to try Locock's Wafers, the effects of
which were soon visible, for one large box (2s. 9d.) has quite
cured me. I have since recommended them to several of my
friends, and they have also experienced the greatest relief from
them.—l remain yours, ever grateful, J. WILLIAMS.
