New York City, May 24, 1882.
Crane & Allen:
I am a great deal better satisfied when using your Preservative than formerly, when having to depend upon ice; and I have preserved and buried about 200 bodies since I received the first quantity of your Preservative. About the 1st of last February I embalmed with it one of our prominent men and the remains laid in the receiving tomb at Woodlawn Cemetery until last Saturday afternoon, when I opened the casket and found him in as good condition as when first put in, and he was seen by about 20 persons, including some of the cemetery officials, who can vouch for the facts as I have stated them. I also embalmed a body with the Preservative and shipped it to Troy, N. Y., which was buried three weeks after, in a perfect state of preservation. The casket was opened then by the Undertaker, and the remains were kissed by the widow. This I have from her own statement.
JOHN W. LYON,

Pendleton, Ind., Oct. 8, 1886.
Crane & Allen:
I have had splendid success with your Preservative and as soon as I can use any more will order.
