“Sir WM. B. CAVE has much satisfaction in informing Mr. Richard
Farmer, that the Elastic Steel Spring Bed which he purchased from Mr.
F. has fully answered every expectation he had formed of it. Sir. W.
C. lay upon it for five months without ever being able to be moved in
the least from it, and for the last six months has not been removed
from it for more than two hours at a time, and it is now as perfect
in the elasticity and strength of the springs as when he received it
from Mr. Farmer. Sir W. Cave’s weight is sixteen stone and upwards.
Dr. Palmer, of Birmingham, who has been in the habit of attending Sir
W. Cave for many years, gave it as his opinion, that had he been
lying on a bed of any other description, the consequences would have
been very serious.
“_Mr. Richard Farmer_, _&c. &c._”
