On the following month, he further observes,—“Since I last wrote, I have
received additional proofs of the beneficial tendency of your Elixir, and
have myself experienced its efficacy in the case of a severe cold.
“The Surgeons show great reluctance in recommending this specific remedy,
but _it has cured where they could not_!
“Advices from Dunkeld, and round the country, of the great value of the
Elixir, is arriving daily. It is selling fast in Perth, and I have no
doubt that in Glasgow, where the medicine has produced incalculable
benefit, the demand will be very great. The last 4s. 6d. I had, I have
sent to Dunkeld this morning; and another order for 11s. bottles is
waiting to be sent to Kilmore. Forward me immediately two dozen each of
the 4s. 6d. and 11s. bottles; and three Guinea bottles for LADY WILLISON,
who intends to recommend the medicine throughout her extensive circle, in
consequence of its efficacy.
“The Hooping Cough is raging here. My son and daughter have been

ALEXANDER,_ an Officer in the Army_, _residing at Perth_.—
“The two bottles of Congreve’s Balsamic Elixir, which I purchased in
February last, I am happy to say, have totally removed my asthma, of
forty years’ standing. I attribute its beneficial efficacy, under God,
to its peculiar balsamic and expectorant properties, in dislodging the
glutinous phlegm, which impeded the free action of my lungs—for as soon
as that was removed, I could breathe freely. I am sixty years of age,
and was first seized with the complaint when abroad. You are at liberty
to publish this, as I think the Elixir should be made more extensively
known.”
