Embalming; Undertakers and undertaking

I can say that I have had better success with your Preservative than
with any preparation I have ever used. Have thoroughly tested it in the
last two weeks, with the thermometer at 98 and 100. One case of heart
disease, very fleshy, another of a lady who died of cancer,—the first
body was kept a week and the other five days, and the results could not
have been better. I like the Preservative, also, because it does not
make the hands rough and harsh, as other preparations do, and because it
will drive out all the bad smell in a short time. Send me at once
another supply, as I cannot do without it.

                                                           N. C. WRIGHT.

CRANE & ALLEN:

Please send another supply of Preservative. I think I could not do
business without it; I have all confidence in it and consider it No. 1.

CRANE & ALLEN:

I had a case in July last of a young lady whom I embalmed with your
Preservative and shipped to Edgerton, and the enclosed extract from the
Milwaukee _Sentinel_ of July 25th is in regard to the appearance of the
body:

“On Wednesday last, a young lady died suddenly at Oconto, and her
remains where brought home to Edgerton for interment. A most singular
thing, however, is that the remains were not buried on the day of the
funeral. Although apparently dead, the usual evidences of dissolution
are not present and there are no signs of it visible. The young lady
before her death exacted a promise from her mother that she should not
be buried until she was satisfied she was really dead. The remains will
not be interred until her death is established beyond all question of
dispute.”

It seems they were not satisfied that she was dead until the seventh day
afterwards. There could have been no question, however, of her death, as
she was regularly embalmed by me, and the life-like appearance was due
to the Preservative used.

                                                         N. B. MITCHELL.

                  *       *       *       *       *

                                         Hastings, Neb., March 21, 1887.

CRANE & ALLEN:

We have always had the very best of results since using your
Preservative. We used it on a case only about a week ago, and shipped a
lady to Illinois and have just received word that the remains arrived
and looked as well as when it left here.

                                                             COX & REED.

                                        Mancelona, Mich., Nov, 19, 1887.
