fcate of confidence in the efficacy of the :" Ife-Pre.
server" as cure for hoarseness and cough.
In the fall Of 1910, was much exposed to night
air. and often took cold which attended BY hoarse
and slight cough, without fever or much other
indsposon. In December, ] was scarcely ever
free from this complaint and during the early part Of
the next February was never without some degree
of hoarseness. cough until, despairng of the
sulficency Of :" Peases Hoarhound Candy,n and
common remedies, was induced to make trial Of
your L,fc-preserver. Before the middle OF March
last the of your medcin seemed to be the or at
of relief from the hoarseness and slight cough
which had SO long annoyed me, and which all the
usual remedies had failed to remove.
IL any one be led TO make the experiment as |
did happily Of your offered good, he will at least
find in it as pleasant and harmless physic as can be
administered in the mode prescribed by you.
l am, very respectfully, yours,
JOHN LEEDS KERR.
