DlX's COUT and RHEUMATIC TINCTURES.
THEGOUT and RUEUMATISAI are the most
painful and debilitating complaints mankind are sub-
j:::ct to. The Gout is supposed incurable, as all other di's-
orders were said to be (which we know not how to cure)
until radical and safe remedies were discovered. to cure them.
It has been thought dangerous to cure or pfevent the return
of the Gout. But if tile cause is removed,. all danger must
be done away, which this T.udure (taken as diiected, and
rt;ginien followed as prescribed) will completely etlect,, as is
proved, by many respedable characters in London and else-
where, who have long, and still do experience the has piest
ehetls.of, whose letters, verifying the fads, Mr. Dix has
Nvit:l their authof.v to publish, and to refer Ladies and Gen-
tlemen to.the writers, who will answer any particuPars in

person.
Personal references must surely be more convincing and
satisfactory than the publication of letters, which, by some,
may be suspected as fabricated for the sole •purpose of re-
commending-the Nhedicinr.:s. Therefore he prefers refering
the Aft:riled to original letters in his possession, and to the
j'iitients themselves, who are too re4peclable to be suspected
of duplicity. Those who- sec them in petted ,health, and
cojoymg the free use of their limbs, must be convinced 0.. The
-powerful and salutary eflicacy'of these Medicine:. Facts
are stubborn things, and will conquer every prejudice. The
Gout has been said to he a salutary disease, and supposed
those v,•110 know not the cause-, nor now TO ,:ure or prevent
i 0 to keep orf all other complaints; the •W titer begs leave,
'with due deference, to dill:er irons such as are of this opi-
nion, since this assertion has ,never been proved. That .
the coil:ray is the fad, is
,d.dly proved. How many,
Gouty Patients do we not see and hear of suffering under a
complication of disorders; such as Rheumatism, Scurvy,
bilious and Nervous A fiLetuns •' Hiccups, Suflocation,•
Heart-bunt, Head-ach, Pains in the Stomach and Bowels.
A loriinating front the same cause as the Gout. All which
these Tinctures will effeetually remove and prevent, if taken
as-direetcd, and regimen followed as prescribed, and no pa-
titnt need fear any subsequent ill eftec.ts from the use of this
Medicine, which cannot injure the most delicate constitution,
it Taken as direCted. It may not be improper to declare there
is 09,Mercury in these Medicines, knowing that some pre-
pared with that pernicious drug, are recommended for. the
Gout ; Mercury to a Gouty Patient, is as deadly poison,
.:.tire to injure. These Medicines will keep any length of
lime in any climate.
