BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The following testi►nonial is another proof of the great effi
cacy of this medicine :
" 157, New Bond-street, London, Octo')er 12, 1850.

" Sir,—ln .ccumiating you with the great benefit which I have ex-
perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS,
I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public
who may be similarly affected.

"About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout
in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va-
riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and
in Spat.), under Sir Joha Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro-
cured the hest medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief,
and my sufferings can be appreciated only by those who know some-
thing of this disease. --

" It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir-
teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I
lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity
the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect
heahb.

"From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis-
ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to
me is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have
ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause.
Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf-
tered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS
is towards its improvement.
" I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result
has always been of the most gratifying character.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
"GARRET FOSTER GILL.
"To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand."

For every description of Gout and Rheumatism, Sciatica, Tic-dolo-
reux, &c., &c., BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS are a
sovereign remedy, contain neither mercury, opium, or any other
dangerous drug, require no care whatever in their use, and far ra-
pidity of cure and complete safety have not their equal in the world.
Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London; and all respectable
Medicine Vendors. Price 2s. 9d. per box.
