q. DIR. J. w. P0LAND-My Dear Sir:-You asked me
what think of your White Pine Compound. Inever
before put pen to paper to tell any man what
thought of a patent medicine. My father, phys-
clan Of the school, early led me to serious susp-

the stamp Of that fraternity. But these suspicious

but nevertheless entirely cured by preparation
made by his owl hands from this bark. Since that
time, unit became acquainted with your al icle,
have been surprised tina no phi osophical mind was
found to undertake cough preparation from white
pine. 7l
AS your article was brought to my notice, it
therefore secured my attention. and have not failed
to acquaint myself with sufficient number of facts
to produce q settled Judgment as to i s ne Some
of my own family have tried it with signal benefit
