WAsHINGToN, March g. 1912.
DEAR Sir: Upon your renewed request cannot
with Justice, any longer withhold from you my RITZ
cate of confidence in the efficacy of the " Lfe-Pre.
server a cure for hoarseness and cough.
In the fall Of 1910, was much exposed to night
air. and often took cold which attended BY hoarse-
ness and slight cough, without fever or much other
indispostion. In December, ] was scarcely ever
free from this complaint and during the early part of
the next February | was without some degree
of hoarseness. or cough; until, despairng of the
suffciency Of Pease's Iioarhound Candy" and
common remedies was induced TO make a trial of
your Ire-preserver. Before the middle of March
last the use of your medicin seemed to be the gr
cause of relief from the hoaIseness 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 can be
administered in the mode prescribed by you.
am, very respectfully, yours,
JOHN LEEDS KERR.
Mr.. RICHARD THOMPSON.
