—Sir, I suffered for months with a very bad knee, and
tried every remedy likely to benefit me, without success.
Thejoint was quite stiff and so swollen that I became
seriously alarmed as to whether I should ever again have
the use of it ; however, by the use of your Ointment and
Pills, the swelling was soon considerably reduced, and
in two weeks was completely cured, which enabled me
to resume my work."--Sold by all vendors of medicine,
