TESTIMONIALS : From Lev. Cha. l's Penny— Kerf ion (Late of Christchurch), March 17, 1884. I am happy to say your Pu mouic Elixir afforded my wife and children a'inost im mediate relief in coughs and colds, and many to whom I have had the pleasure of recommending your specific have spoken of it as invaluable. In one case when every remedy tried was powerless to give relief (the cough was so distressing) the first dose of your Elixir proved most effective. In another case (sore throat) a cure was soon brought about that the patient resolved in the future to- take no thing else. Other cases could be cited x but these will be sufficient to show that your Pul monic Elixir is a remedy of no mean order. FromC. F.
