RICHARD THoMpsoN's LIFE pREsERvER


Is found ia practice 10 cure
Coughs, Colds, Rheumatism, Group. Uhoop-
ing-coagh, Hemorrhage, and Splitting Blood.
WASHINGTON, March 6, l64l.
DEAR SIR Upon your renewed request ! cannot,
with justice any longer withhold from you my cert-
heate Of confidence in the efficacy Of the Life Pre-
server, 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
hoarseness and slight cough without fever much
other ndisposition. In December was scarcely ey-
free from this complaint, and during the early part
Of the next February | was nsyer without some de-
gree of hoarseness cough until despairng Of the
suthciency 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
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 be led to make the experiment, as
did happily, of the offered good, he will least
find in it pleasant and harmless physic as be
administered in the mode prescribed by you.
am, very respectfully yours
JOHN LEEDS KERR.
Mr.. RICHARD THOMPSON.
