"To Messrs T. Roberts and Co. Crane court, Fleet street, London, Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills.

"Gentlemen, "West Stockwith, Aug. 11, 1843.

"I, James Jackson Easton, do hereby testify, that, by taking your excellent Parr's Life Pills, I have derived greater benefit than in using all the other medicines I have tried since 1841; about which time I was attacked with severe illness, accompanied with excruciating pain and trembling, with large rupture. For the last six months I have had no return of this illness, nor the least appearance of the last-mentioned symptom. Through the mercy of G.o.d, I do at present feel perfectly recovered from it. I still continue the occasional use of your excellent Pills.--I am gentlemen, respectfully yours,

J.J. EASTON."
