"Sir,—I feel compelled to call on you to thank you for recommending me to give the Stogumber Pale Ale a trial. I have been in a weak state of health for the last twelve months, and my medical attendant stated that my lungs were much affected, he did not think there was any chance of my recovery; but to my great astonishment, in a few weeks I got much better, and in three months was enabled to go to my work again which is very laborious, a farmer's labourer; I drank one pint a day for three months. You can make what use of my name you may think proper Yours, &c. ROBERT CLARKE, To Mr. Granger. Puncknowle, near Bridport." |
