M’lntosii, Esq., Henry County, Ga. ■ ; Dear Sir:— l am this morning in receipt of i your favour of the 18th instant, requesting to : * I have some of the Balm sent out to your State as * soon as possible. Such is the pressing demand in every section, that 1 have, as yet, not been j able to supply the orders that have been some [ ' time on hand. I have had an order from Au- t gusta, Gqprgia, and Savannah, since last win- ] ter, and only last week sent one groce to each t place. Dr. E. R. Calhoun, of South Carolina, has contracted for that State and Georgia, and 1 I have shipped to him near five thousand bot 1 ties, ail that 1 could spare. As soon as I can, I 1 will send him more; but when, I cannot say, as I must divide it as well as I cast, until I can sup ply each State fully. I will doinyself the pleas- . ure of requesting Dr. Calhoun to establish ana- < gcncy at your office as soon as other engage t ments will allow. I have been putting up near ly two thousand per day, and now find myself r in want of about fifty thousand for immediate s use, and have not fifteen bottles, but what are packed up for shipment. From the present de- i ! maud, I should not be surprised, if it were to j take five hundred thousand bottles a year to sup- ■ ply the demand. | . i Yours respectfully, &.c. H. B. MONTAGUE. 's I ADDITIONAL CERTIFICATES. .j Albemarle, April, 1836. j 1 Dear Sir:— We suppose you like good news, * i particularly when you are mostly interested, j We have but two bottles left of the box of Balm ' I you sent us. You can draw at sight for $ , ( ! which we believe will be the amount, after de ■ ducting commission and expenses We will t thank you to send to our friends, Messrs. •, 1 ; of Richmond, by first conveyance, a double box, | ' which you will put at your wholesale price, for j which you can also draw on us. It has failed s | in two instances in this neighborhood, but one of i { the persons that we have seen, thinks it was (with him) rheumatism, as he had the tooth j drawn, and the pain still continued. , Several persons have used it, with defective < gums, or scurvy, and are so much delighted with it, that we are charged to keep a supply, The ladies are using it with the tooth-brush, and say ! 1 : that it is the best thing for the teeth and gums i : they have ever used. We are glad, for the sake 1 |of the sufferers, as well as on your account, ' I that this remedy is not only not of Northern or igin, (from whence all the patent nostrums come,) but is a Virginia preparation, and by a . Virginian. Nor does it detract from its efficacy, on account of the place of its preparation, (Pe tersburg,) once styled by Mr. Jefferson, the “cockale of America.” It seems to us, that al) you now have to da, is to see to it, that yon keep a supply sufficient for the demand—for if it sells elsewhere as it has done here, there will !be no end to the demand. Several merchants ! of my acquaintance, mean to send for a box. Allow us to congratulate you, and the public, ■ at the discovery and use of the only remedy (ex cept drawing) for toqth-ac|;e, that has yet been ; discovered. Respectfully vours, R. R. &.T. T. G. Huntington, J near Cabin Point, 24th March. ( ! Dear Sir: I bought a bottle of your Balm j from Messrs. —, in Petersburg, in Februa- ry, chiefly because I had a servant who had ! suffered most excrutiatingly for some months. We had tried all the remedies which were in our reach ; an attempt was made to extract the i tooth, but broke it off. I caused the Balm to be used after warming it in a cup—this was re peated with a second spoonful, when she vas entirely relieved. The next night she came for ' more, saying that a tooth on the othor side ached, and also iequested some for her husband who, sin: said, had been suffering with the. same disease for some weeks. I cheerfully gave it, an 1 the next day on inquiry found that both were j i relieved. One of my neighbors of high respcc- j lability sent to me for some for his wife. I [ have this day seen him, and he assures me that I it afforded immediate relief, and there has been j i no return ; before she suffered almost constant- | i ly, and could not bear to k t cold water touch ■ the toqth.arid for nights previous to theap i plication-,she had not been able to sleep scarce -Ily at all. Now she has no inconvenience from j rol l wa er or any thing else that comes in con tact with the tooth. The night before last ho ! used some with one of his own men, with the I same success, and says if he could have have had this romc'lv fifteen years ago, and known its ef ficacy, lie would willingly have given a hnndred j dollars for it. I have written in haste giving a plain statement offsets. i Yours respectfully. WM. F. R.
