WHAT A WELL-KNOWN CmUIST HAS TO SAT OF »R. SHELD JN'S NEW DISCOVERY. April 27th, 1904. Sheldon Drug Co., 15 0 Connell-streat, Sydney, N. W j Dear Sirs,— Last week I took home a bottfcvof Dr. Sheldon's New Discovery for Coughs, Colds, and Consumption. I obtained v this, for my two boys aged seven and four years. The elder lad had a nasty troublesome cough and cold; the other a y cold and a cough just beginning to trouble Jhim. They each took yonr cou«h remedy, which, by the way, they liked immensely, and in two> days the cough and cold of the younger boy had entirely disappeared, having been out short in good time, and at'the end of the third day the elder boy was absolutsiy-y cured. Being a chemist for seventeen years,. lam naturally somewhat antagonistic to proprietary and patent medicines, but in this instance I must reoogniza and acknowledge the efficiency and merit of Jy out excellent preparation, and give credit where credit is due. I was greatly pleased with the marvellous and striking curatiye and soothing properties of your admirable remedy, which I will add, from a pharmaceutical standpoint, is splendidly compounded. —Yours faithfully, rCHARLES A. FINC#, Ph. C., M. P.S., etc. « Kuranda, Boyee-street, Glebe Point, Sydney, N.S.Wg
