Dec. 14th, 1847, Dear Sire—ln reply to your question respecting the nen of Dr. Drake's Panacea, I will say. that although a perfect disbeliever in the existence of a Panacea, or cure for all diseases, however valuable it may he In certain conditions of the system, still I have believed that a core for consumption vrnuld be discovered soon er or later, and curiosity lcd me to try your medicine in two very inveterate cases. They were pronounced by the attending physicians to br pulmonary Consumption, and abandoned by them as incurable. One of these persons had been under the treatment of several very able practitioners for a number of years, and they said she had " ohLfashioned Consumption combined with Scrofula," and that she might linger for some time, but could not be permanently. rtlieved. In bnth cases the effect of the l'anacea has been most gratifylns. Only our or five bottles were used by one of the persons be fore she began to improve rapidly. The other took about ten. I will only add that familiar as lam with Con sumption by inheritance and by extensive observation as a study, and tone ing also the injurious effects in nine eases not of ten of tar, boneset, and oilier vegeta ble tonics, as well as of many eipectorants and seda tives, I should never have recommended the use of Drake's Panacea WI had not been acquainted with the Ingredients. Suffice it to ssy that these are recommen ded by our most popular rind scientific physicians. and in their present combined state, form probably the best alternattve that has. ever been. made.
