Gentlemen:—I am not in the habit of giving testimonials, and as a rule am opposed to any thing of the kind, but after suffering from rheumatism and kindred diseases for several winters, I was persuaded by a friend to try Hygienic Underwear, and I am compelled to say that from the time I began using them last November until spring I did not have a touch nor a single chill during the entire winter, and I am confident that it was attributable to the use of your Underwear, and I have not hesitated to recommend them at every opportunity.
Yours truly,
J. F. Merry,
Gen'l Western Passenger Agent.
In a letter to a friend, Mr. Merry wrote at the time of receiving the Underwear as follows.
