FOR some Years past I had been violently afflicted with a slow nervous
fever attended by a continual head-ache, a total loss of appetite, and
a very bad digestion, by which I was reduced to a deplorable state of
languor and dejection of spirits. After being attended by many Doctors,
and taking a variety of Medicines, my husband, Mr. JOHN TOD, hearing
from several persons with whom he was acquainted, of the wonderful
effects your excellent Tea had done in nervous disorders, in various
Families with whom, in his extensive acquaintance, he was well known,
urged me much to drink the Tea; which I began in the Morning for
breakfast, and in a few days I found myself much better, and was much
pleased with so grateful a remedy. I continued it for some time; and I
do assure you I am now entirely recovered, and enjoy a perfect state of
health, without any medical assistance whatever. I am therefore
prompted to send you this, in gratitude for the benefit I have
received, requesting you will make what use of it you think proper, as
it may be of the same benefit to others.
I am, Sir, your very humble servant,
FRANCES TOD.

CASE VI. _To the Proprietor of the Sanative Tea._
WHEN I arrived in England some time ago, I was distressed with a severe
depression of the spirits, a very violent cough, and as all my friends
thought in a declining consumptive habit of body; my brother hearing
the efficacy of your Sanative Tea much praised, bought me a cannister,
and begged I would use it according to the directions given with it,
which I did, and had a tea-pot of it standing at my bed-side every
night, (for as I was very restless and very feverish) drinking it at
intervals, and likewise in the morning; before it was all out I was
entirely recovered, and have at this time good spirits, good appetite,
and good health. I therefore recommend it much. I am, Sir, &c.

CASE VII. _To the Proprietor of Dr._ SOLANDER'S _Sanative Tea_.
A near relation of mine being afflicted with a violent nervous
disorder, owing to a fright which happened to her in her lying-in, so
much so, as nearly to deprive her of reason; her intellects were for
some time, very much impaired, and she was reduced to a state of
despondency; she was attended by many eminent physicians, and took many
of her apothecary's draughts, &c. but without success, until she was
persuaded to try your Sanative Tea, by several of her acquaintances,
who had proved its good qualities, which she made use of six weeks, and
in which time she found herself perfectly recovered from such alarming
disorder. In justice to so valuable and elegant a medicine, I cannot
omit giving you this information, that it may be published for the
benefit of the community at large, being fully persuaded of its
excellent qualities. I am, Sir, &c.
