session of healthy vigour, silky softiies., and luxurious redun-
dancy, to the latest period of human life. Its operation In cases

tachios, it is Mi.° unfailing in its stimulative operation. For children

TO MR. PROUT, 229,-STRAND.
" so. 208, Piccadilly, London, October 19, 1847.
" Sir, —lt is now three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted
with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced tee 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-
stantly 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 hum
Mble servant,
" ICHAEL NASKYTH."

The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of Ulair's
Gout and Rheumatic 1111 s, 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 effeet3 of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC
PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have
secured to therm a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past
or present times. They not only give relief in a few hours, but re-
store to perfect health 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 evidenoes ofits benign influence.
Sold by Thomas Front, 229, Strand, London, and, by his appoint-
ment, by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United
Kingdom. Price 23. 9d. per box.
