WAsmNeToN, March 6, lo4l.
DrAn SlR. Upon your renewed request cannot
with Justice any longer withhold from you my certr
6cate of confidence Ia the efficacy OF the Lille Ere
server, as a cure for hoarseDess 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 mueh
other indisposition In December was scarcely es-
or free from this complaint and during the early part
of the next February was never without some dc
gree of hoarseness or cough until despairng OF the
suficiency of Pease's Hoarhound Candy, and COM
mon remedies, was induced to make trial OF your
Life Preseryer. Before the middle OF March last,
the use Of your medicine seemed 10 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.
If any one be led to make the experiment, as ]
did SO happily, Of the offered good, he will at least
find in il as pleasant and harmless physc as can De
in the mode prescribed by YOU
am very respectfully yours,
