" Sir,—lt is now three and a half years since 1 was sorely afflicted
with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced me to try
all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could
devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. During
one of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT
and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe
cases taken them himself, and they proved very successful. I in-
',tautly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment
soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored me to health, since
which I have had no return of the complaint.
" I trust you will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity
may know how to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease.
" I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant,
" MICHAEL NASMYTH."

The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of Blair's
Gout and Rheumatic Pills, which afford speedy relief to those afflicted
with gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, tic doloreux, pains in the
head and face, and all analogous complaints.
The never-failing effects of BLAIWS GOUT and RHEUMATI('
PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have
secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past
sr present times. They not only give relief in a few hours, but re-
store to perfeckhealth in an inconceivably short space of time. They
are equally speedy and certain in lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head
or face, and indeed in every rheumatic or gouty affection : in fact,
such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this
medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it ; and there is
scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom but contains many
grateful evidences of its benign influence.
Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London, and, by his appoint-
ment, by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United
Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

is now given to every party visiting the above time-
honoured old ship:—

"It is most earnestly requested that visitors will not
give any money to the persons showing them the ship.

and the Seamen and Marines Orphan School."
