Gents; The beauty of your Battery is that it can be run either as a single or double cell battery, and, in order to show you what the profession here think of it, we hand you herewith the opinion of one of our customers, a very thorough and careful physician.
Messrs. J. B. & J. E. Hendricks. Dear Sirs : Your inquiry about the Smith & Shaw Closed Cell Pocket Battery received. Where an induced current of high tension is required, I can not see but what it could be substituted for the more clumsy and cosily batteries; while so far as pocket batteries are concerned, I believe the -Smith & Shaw Closed Cell is as near perfection as this decade will witness. Yours,
W. V. Morgan, M. D."
