DR.. G. ID. Warner, Coldwater, Mich.
Dear Sir:--I am well acquainted
with the merit of your White Wine of
Tar Syrup. l have used it on several
occasions when very hoarse from pub
lie speaking and when suffering from
sore throat. Our postmaster, Mr..
Nichossn, had la grippe and it left him
with very bad cough, had spells of
coughing every morning for an hour or
more. / met him on the street three
weeks ago and recommended White
Wine of Tar Syrup, which he COM
menced taking and to-day he is a well
man. A little girl here had coughed
all winter and no.cure could be found.
/ askedsher mother to get White Wine
of Tar. She did so and in two weeks
the child was cured. AS you say, it is
the best cough remedy on earth.
Please send me six bottles by express.
Yours Most Resp'y,
