I have used your Preservative with very good success and think it cannot be surpassed in any particular. I manufacture an article which is cheap and although not quite as safe and reliable as yours, it seems to answer ordinary purposes, but in difficult cases I use yours.

And again, June 3, 1884:
Crane & Allen:
The Preservative came this morning. I had such good success with that I had before of you that I did not dare to be without it. Have just received intelligence from the South of the condition of a body I sent there a short time since and embalmed with your Preservative. By some mistake things were not in readiness for the burial of the body on arrival and funeral had to be postponed. What surprised every one was that there was not the least indication of dissolution in odor or color, but a natural and healthful appearance of a gentle sleep at the time of the funeral.
C. BACON.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 15, 1882.
Crane & Allen:
The Preservative is perfectly satisfactory and we will need some more of it.
