Chapter IV: Introduction (3)

BEING afflicted with a violent head-ache, a considerable time, till hearing of the Sanative Tea having cured many persons of that complaint, I was induced to make trial of it, and accordingly sent for some, which I liked so well, that I continued to drink it every morning for breakfast; and I declare, since drinking that Tea and leaving off green tea, I have been entirely freed from my former complaint--If therefore this my acknowledgement of its efficacy should induce any of my sex, who are so liable to that, so general a disorder, I don't doubt of its doing them as much service as I have experienced.

I am, SIR, your humble servant,

E. MACKRILL. No. 1, Basing-lane, Nov. 21, 1793.

CASE XXXI. _To the Proprietor of the English Tea._

IT is with the utmost pleasure I inform you, that my sister who has lingered these eight months under a decline of the most alarming kind, is now perfectly restored to health by drinking frequently and regularly your Sanative English Tea.

I am, SIR, your respectful servant,

T. I. UPTON, Watch-maker. No. 8, Bell-yard, Temple-bar. Dec. 15, 1793.

CASE XXXII. _To the Proprietor of Dr. Solander's Tea._

IT is the duty of every individual member of society, whose health may be renovated by the use of any medicine, freely to communicate its efficacy for the public good, in order that it may be better-known and disseminated amongst his fellow-creatures.--Being from the nature of my profession (my inclination perhaps also conducing that way) necessarily accustomed to a sedentary life, I became the unhappy victim of all those horrible maladies incident to a debility of the nervous system, augmented by inattention to myself, accompanied with a depression of spirits, verging to an almost absolute despondency. A gentleman, whose goodness and philanthropy eminently characterise him, recommended to me Dr. Solander's Tea, and happily by the use of it I have experienced the most unspeakable relief, and my health is completely re-established, my nerves have assumed their natural tone, and my animal spirits that hilarity they formerly possessed. With all the fervor of gratitude for the salutary effects of this incomparable Tea, I sincerely recommend its use to those who may be afflicted in the same way. I am, SIR, &c.

BUTLER FITZGERALD. Attorney at Law and Solicitor in Chancery. Dec. 27, 1793.

CASE XXXIII. _To the Proprietor of the Sanative_ TEA.

I should not think I discharged my duty to the public, were I to conceal for a moment the great benefit I have received from Solander's Tea, as well as two of my children, who were weakly for some months, after the measles. My own case was violent trembling of my hands, attended with lowness of spirits, for which I took various prescriptions from many eminent of the faculty, without any visible benefit, till by the advice of one of them, I took to drink your Tea, which in a few weeks entirely cured me. Finding it so efficacious, and withal so pleasant to the taste, I gave it to my children to drink, who I am happy to say are perfectly recovered.
