BALL'S POND ROAD, ISLINGTON
SIR, ! I wish to inform you that I have taken your PARR'S LIFE PILLS for forty-seven
years, and no other medicine, and as I have always found them do me good, I have
recommended them to all my friends; and to prove the truth to you I have sent you a few
lines, inclosed, which I composed and sent to one of my sons, with a box of your valuable
Pills, begging of him to try them. I am now in my 77th year, and hearty and well, but
unfortunately lost my dear husband five years since; but my dear children are my preservers,
and I am as happy as any old maid. If you wish to make use of these lines in any way you are
at liberty to do so.
