From Joseph M. Wightman, Esq., the celebrated Philosophical Instrument Manufacturer, No. 33 Cornhill, who is well known throughout the United States.
Boston, November 8, 1855.
Mr. Thomas Lewis.
Dear Sir: After a thorough trial of your 'Improved Portable Syringe,' during severe sickness in my family, I am gratified to give my decided opinion in favor of its construction, as admirably adapted to the purpose, and also in regard to the excellent workmanship and convenient arrangement of the various parts. These qualities combined with 'Hard Ball Valves,' which operate as well with those injections of which gruel forms a part, as with those more fluid, render it invaluable to those who are obliged to resort frequently to the use of such an instrument for the purpose, and have suffered from having those of other constructions so often out of order as to be a continual source of annoyance and expense.
Yours truly,
J. M. Wightman, 33 Cornhill.
