ABOUT two years ago, I was attacked with a nervous disorder in my head,
which violently afflicted my whole frame. I had no rest, and
oftentimes, for want of sleep, at intervals, lost my senses--being much
troubled with frights and startings, the disorder increased, till most
of my friends expected I should soon die. I took many things without
benefit, till an acquaintance recommended me to use the Sanative Tea. I
began to drink it in the night, being always very thirsty; I thought in
two or three nights that I was easier; I therefore continued it, and
not only drank it in the night, but used it constantly, and left off
drinking India tea. I gradually got better, and am now quite recovered,
having got rid of head-ache, startings, &c. I therefore wish to
recommend it for its excellence to all my sex; and beg you will accept
of this, hoping it may be useful.
I am, Sir, your humble servant,

CASE XV. _To the Proprietor of Dr. Solander's Tea_.
INDUCED by a friend of mine to make use of your Tea, as an excellent
medicine for the loss of appetite, bad digestion, and great relaxation
of the whole frame, with which I had been afflicted a long time, I have
found more relief from it, than from any other medicine I have yet had
recourse to, and am convinced it has qualities superior to any thing of
the kind; and considering it as worthy of public attention, I give you
my approbation of the services it has done me. I am, your humble
servant,
JOHN MIDDLETON,

CASE XVI. _To the Proprietor of Dr._ SOLANDER's TEA.
HEARING of the virtues of your Tea, in nervous complaints and
indigestions, and being among my friends much persuaded to try it, I
soon found, by drinking it for breakfast, the good effects arising from
it; your Sanative Tea having operated entirely to my wish, from its
pleasing as well as its medicinal qualities. I continued to use it, at
least once a day, and as a means of disclosing its virtues shall
continue to recommend it in the circle of my acquaintance. Your humble
servant,
PETER CAPPER.

CASE XVII. _To the Proprietor of the English Sanative_ TEA.
A Servant of mine having been in a continual state of pain, from what
the doctors deemed a rheumatic complaint, for the space of eight
months, and appearing to be of a consumptive habit of body, attended
with a total depression of spirits, a perpetual cough, and extreme
weakness of limbs; which threatened her dissolution. Hearing frequently
of the surprising efficacy of your Sanative Tea, I bought some for her,
and the happy effects it has produced, urges me strongly to speak in
its great praise; therefore, I send you this, hoping her case may be of
service to make the virtues of your Sanative Tea, universally known.
I am, SIR, &c.
JOSEPH SWALLOW.
