WASHINGTON, March 6, 1912.
DEAR SIR: Upon your renewed request, cannot
with Justice any longer withhold from you my ,rti-
6cate of confidence in the efficacy of the LilePre.
servern as a cure for hoarseness and cough.
In the fall of 1910, | was much exposed TO night
air and often took cold, which was attended by hoarse
ness and slight cough without fever much other
indisposition. In December ] was scarcely ever
free from this complaint, and during the early part of
the next February never without some degree
Of hoarseness, cough; until, desparing of the
suficicncy of Peases Hoarhound Candy" and
common remedies ! was induced to make trial of
your Life-preserver. Before the middle Of March
last the use of your medcin. seemed to be the gr at
cause of relief from the hoarseness and slight cough
which had so long annoyed me- and which all the
usual remedies had failed TO remove.
If any one be led TO make the experiment as
did so happily, of your offered good, he will at least
find in il as pleasant and harmless physc as can be
administered in the mode prescribed by you.
am, very respectfully, yours,

all his bloom, land much of his wonton high spirits
The fire Of his eye, and the joyous tone OF happier
days, were gone. His good heart, his generous
soul, alone remained, alone were saved from the
general wreck of his once buoyant mind and athlet

of eastern ciimes probably dissipation, had caus
