.... 3. Polk Miller & Co.: 

 Gentlemen— The formula 

 which you are using under 

 the name of "Sergeant's Con- 

 dition Pills," for treatment 

 of dogs, is the result of many 

 years' experiment and very 

 extended experience on the 

 part of both of us. Your Mr. 

 Polk Miller is not only a 

 practical chemist, but one of 

 the most ardent sportsmen I 

 ever knew. We have to- 

 gether finally settled upon 

 this Pill as accomplishing 

 more as au alterative -and 

 tonic for canines than any we 

 have ever met. There is no 

 mystery about the ingredi- 

 dieuts whatever, and the 

 virtue of the Pills cousists 

 in their being simply the 

 best combination of well- 

 known medicines which we 

 could desire to accomplish 

 the end in view. I use. noth- 

 ing else with my dogs now, 

 although I have tried all the 

 different remedies. 



I regard this Pill as the 

 surest, most prompt and 

 efficacious medicine I ever 

 used in cases of distemper. 



It will make a dead dog 

 eat. In mange, scratches 

 and skin diseases of all sorts 

 it acts like a charm and 

 drives the disease away. It 

 has superceded with me al- 

 together the troublesome 

 use of Fowler's solution. It 

 leaves no bad effects and 

 combines in one formula all 

 the different things which, 

 under some veterinary books 

 will occupy a man half a day 

 dosing a sick dog. I am sure 

 chat whoever uses it will 

 give you all the testimony 

 you want. There is no quack 

 about it. You have begun 

 , to prepare it for the public, 

 because, in our private ex- 

 perience, we have found it better than anything 

 else we have ever tried. Yours respectfully, 



John S. Wise. 



Pittsburg, Pa., May 12, 1887. 



Polk Miller & Co.: 



Dear Sirs— Please find enclosed $1.00 for one 

 box of your "Condition Pills." Give me price for 

 taking half dozen at once. I think the last box 

 has done my dogs very much good, and I would 

 take half a dozen boxes at once if given at re- 

 duced rates. Yours truly, 



A. Stucky. 



Yardville, N. J., Aug. 28, 1887. 

 Polk Miller & Co.: 



Dear Sirs— I promised to let you know what 

 effect, if any. "Sergeant's Pills" had on my dog; 

 I will fulfill the promise now. I gave him 26 of 

 the Pills altogether. Could see no change for the 

 first four days, but after that he began to have 

 some relish for food, and I could see that what 

 he ate did liim good, as he began to gain in flesh. 

 His nose is much more moist, and for longer at a 

 time than before he took the Pills, and he is 

 seemingly in good spirits. I do not say, as does 



Testimonials : 



the Hon. J. S. Wise, that the Pills "will make a 

 dead dog eat," but I do say that they seem to 

 have helped my dog, and I believe that any 

 one having a dog left weak by distemper, with no 

 appetite and no disposition to put on flesh or 

 gain strength, will find these Pills an excellent 

 remedy, and I can recommend them for that 

 fully. Is it your opinion that I best give the re- 

 maining Pills? If you see fit, you are fully at 

 liberty to make use of this note in your adver- 

 tisement, or to refer inquirers to me. 

 Very respectfully yours, 



Thos. C. Abbott ("Recapper"). 



Lynch's, Ya., Aug. 25, 1887. 

 Messrs. Polk Miller & Co.: 



Dear Sirs— After a thorough test of your "Ser- 

 geant's Coudition Pills," I find them by odds the 

 best tonic I have ever used on a dog, and shall 

 keep them on hand hereafter, and discard all of 

 the liquid tonics that I have heretofore found it 

 necessary to use; as, while the Pills act better, 

 they are also much easier administered, and I 

 am satisfied as they become known they will be 

 used exclusively by dog men. Yours, etc..

St. Joseph, Mo., June 7, 1887. 

 Messrs. Polk Miller & Co., Richmond, Va.: 



Gents— Por enclosed 85.00 please mail me five 

 boxes "Sergeant's Condition Pills" for dogs. The 

 two boxes you sent me some time ago have done 

 first rate; one box I used on one of my dogs for 

 some skin trouble, the other I gave to a friend 

 whose dog was in a low condition and off his 

 food. Very truly yours, 



Paul Francke. 



Lynch's, Va., Aug. 21, 1887. 

 Messrs. Polk Miller & Co., Richmond, Va.: 



Gentlemen— I have tried different remedies, 

 and I now say that your Pills are the best canine 

 medicine I have ever used; they put new life in a 

 dog, and give him an appetite that it always 

 pleases his master to see him eat. I recom- 

 mend them to all who have dogs, and will fur- 

 ther say that after they try them they will use 

 no other. Accept my thanks for the Pills you 

 sent me; I found them to be what they were re- 

 commended to be. Hastily, but very truly yours, 

 E. Taylor. 



Louisville, Ky„ 

 May 12, 1887. 

 Messrs. Polk Miller & Co., 

 Richmond, Va.: 

 Gentlemen— On a recent 

 visit to my farm in Virginia, 

 I found my old dog Dash and 

 my one-year-old puppy Cob- 

 ham very much out of con- 

 dition. Cobham was almost 

 a skeleton. Their hair was 

 bunched up, rough, and they 

 would eat nothing— could 

 scarcely get on their feet. I 

 treated them for worms, 

 without result, and, as I told 

 you in Richmond, I decided 

 on my return to kill the pup- 

 py. You told me of "Ser- 

 geant's Condition Pills," and 

 asked me to try them first. 

 I agreed to do so, but I am 

 free to confess that I had no 

 faith in them. I am now 

 glad to say to you that on 

 Saturday last I saw Dash 

 and Cobham; they were both 

 in as good condition as any 

 two dogs on earth. My col- 

 ored man says they certainly 

 did eat after I gave them 

 the Pills you left; all of 

 which tends to assure me 

 that you have a good thing. 

 Send me two boxes. 



Yours very truly, 

 H. W. Fuller, 

 Gen. Pass. Agt. C. & O. Ry. 



Dayton, O., May 11, 1887. 

 Messrs. Po!7c Miller & Co.: 



Enclosed find $1.00 for an- 

 other box of Pills. The one 

 box has improved my dog 

 Pat Snuzer wonderfully. 

 For a year the dog had no 

 life, acted more like a dog 

 ten years old (he is only 2j5 

 years old); since giving him 

 your Pills he jumps and is 

 cheerful, like a pup. I will 

 always have a box of "Ser- 

 geant's Condition Pills" on hand. I .think an- 

 other box will bring him out all right. He has 



something like the mange; have used Mange 



Cure. Yours truly, 



Gustay Sander. 



White Post, Va., Sept. 5, 1887. 

 Polk Miller, Esq.: 



My Dear Sir— You ask for my experience with 

 the "Sergeant's Condition Pills." In a few words 

 I will say, honestly, that I do not believe their 

 equal has ever been invented, for I consider them 

 a panacea for every ill to which dog flesh is heir. 

 I have tried them in distemper, in broken clown 

 constitutions from distemper, in mange, in cases 

 when the hair upon the dog was turned wrong 

 side out, fits, and the devil knows what else, and 

 have found them good every time. I have never 

 tried them on a mad dog, but have no doubt if 

 you could get a fellow to administer them, that 

 they would cure him. In time, I would just as 

 soon think of being without dogs as without the 

 Pills, and hope never to be without either. 

 Very truly, 

 Wm. C. Kennerly ("Old Dominion").
