" No. 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 eae 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 bad no return of the complaint.
" I trust you will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity
raay know how to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease.

" I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant,
" MICHAEL NASMYTII."
The above testinlionlal is a further proof of the efficacy of Blair's
Gaut and Rheumatic Pills, which afford speedy relief to those afflicted
Keith gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, tic doloreux, pains in the
head and face, and all analogous complaints.
~,,The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC
. ILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have
secured to theta a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past
•2.oPresent times. They not only give relief in a few hours, but re-
Zere t. Perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They
or i.,equallY speedy and certain in lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head
mich'e,,e, and indeed in every rheumatic or gouty affection in fact,
medicine,
been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this
scar`-nle, that it has astonished all who have taken it ; and there is
grateet,ly a City, town, or village in the kingdom but contains many
:el evidences of its benign influence.
