Mr. T., a respectable gentleman, residing in Cavendish-street, New-road,
London, had for a considerable period experienced all the symptoms
indicative of the disease called Pulmonary Consumption. The complaint
originally proceeded from a violent cold, which was followed by a sense
of straitness and oppression at the chest, with great difficulty of
breathing, violent cough, and great and general emaciation of the body.
When he heard of the Balsam referred to in this treatise, he had
previously tried almost every other remedy, with little or no advantage.
He, therefore, commenced a course of this medicine, under the most
unfavourable circumstances. The remedy succeeded in promoting
expectoration of slimy matter from the lungs to a considerable degree.
Symptoms of amendment rapidly followed; and, as he persevered with the
Balsam, his difficulty of breathing ceased. By the advice of his
attendant, he then had recourse to the beverage referred to, (page 10,)
with the usual doses of Balsam, as therein directed, and the patient
became convalescent—although physicians had previously pronounced the
cure altogether hopeless.

JOSEPH LAMOREAUX, Esq., 33, Green-street, Grosvenor-square, with the
sanction of his nephew, who is one of the liberal of his profession, (a
surgeon in the Royal Navy,) having heard the fame of this Balsamic
Elixir, was induced to try it, and had purchased several of the 4s. 6d.
bottles, and derived from it very considerable benefit, in one of the
worst cases of harassing cough, with scanty expectoration and impeded
respiration. Being desirous of obtaining one of the bottles at One
Guinea, he begged I would give him a call, with a bottle of that size, to
be paid for on delivery—as he was particularly desirous of communicating
to me personally the vast benefit he had found from taking the Balsam;
and of suggesting the best mode of taking it. I called upon Mr. L., and
was highly delighted with his favourable report. In addition to which he
presented me with a card of recommendation, defining the peculiar benefit
he had derived from the medicine, addressed to Dr. Hitchman, Leamington,
Warwickshire; which was forwarded to that gentleman, with a letter on the
subject; and, on the 28th of that month, Dr. Hitchman called upon me, to
ascertain on what terms he could be supplied with the medicine.
