DEAR SIR: Upon your renewed request cannot,
with justice any longer withhold from you my certi-
hcate of confidence in the efficacy of the Life Pre-
server, a for hoarseness and cough.
In the fall of lS40 was much exposed to night
air. and often took cold, which was attended by
hoarseness and slight cough, without fever or much
other indspostion In December was scarcely ev-
er Tree from this complaint and during the early part
OF the next February was never without some de-
gree of hoarseness cough; until desparing Of the
suiclency Of Pease's Hoarhound Candy, and com
mon remedies, was induced to make trial of your
Life Preserver. Before the middle Of March last
The use Of your medicine seemed to be the great
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.
II any one be led TO make the experiment, as |
Gd SO happily, of the offered good, he will at least
ma IN 1t as pleasant and harmless physic be
administered in the mode prescribed by you.
am, very respectfully yours,
