What a Well-knovtm Chemist has to say of Dr Sheldon’s New Discovery,

April 27th, 1904

Sheldon Drug Co.,

15 O’Connell street, Sydney, N.S.W. Dear Sirs, —

Last week I look home a bottle of Dr Sheldon’s New Discovery for Coughs, Colds, and Consumption. I obtained this for my two. boys aged seven and four years. The elder lad had a nasty, trcublesome cough and cold : the other a bad cold ana a cough just beginning to trouble him. They each took your cough remedy, which, by the way, they I'ked immensely, und in two days tbe cough und cold of the younger boy bud entirely disappeared, having been cut short in good time, and at the end of the third day the elder boy was absolutely cured. Being a chemist fo-seventeen years, I am naturally somewhat antagonistic to proprietary and patent medicines, but in this instance I must recognise and acknowledge the efficiency and merit of your excellent preparation and give credit where credit is due, I was greatly pleased with the marvellous and s'rik'ng curative and soothing properties of your admirable remedy, which I will add, from a pharma ccutical standpoint, is splendidly compounded. —Yours faithfully, CHARLES A. b INCH, Ph. C., M.P.S., etc. Kuranda, Btqce street, Glebe Foint, Sydney, N S.W.
