"Dear Sir,—May I beg your insertion of the following?—I was terribly
afflicted with cancer, heartburn, chilblains, thickness of breathing,
warts, headach, numbness of the joints, deafness, sore throat, lumbago,
toothach, loss of appetite, falling off of the hair, corns, &c. &c.,
when I was recommended to try the newly-discovered panacea; and, I am
happy to say, after two bottles of the stuff, I am perfectly recovered.
You are at liberty to make what use you think proper of this letter.
"Yours most obediently,
"F. FLAM.
"N.B.—None but the best French brandy will do, some very fine samples of
which are on hand at my Warehouse, No. 99¾, Gammon Street, Hoaxton."
