atfter they have devoted their whole lives to this interesting branch

TO those afflicted with GOUT, RHEUMA-

There is no medicine to whose praise higher and more numerous
testimonials have been given, than to BLAIR'S GOUT AND
RHEUMATIC PlLLS,—from all parts of the Kingdom, and every
rank in society, their great efficacy is acknowledged. The recent case
of the Chevalier de le Garde, Chamberlain to Stasi:lens, late King of
Poland, is one of the most convincing proofs of their great and extra.
ordinary virtues. Similar effects were also experienced by the Rev
Hector Blomberg, of Misperton,Hall, Yorks!iire, Chaplain to his late
Majesty, and Rector of Cripplegate, London, who, with a spirit of the
kindest humanity, voluntarily gave his testimony to their happy
14effects. Cases have from time!to time been published, as transmitted
, or who can beat testimony to their extraordinary efficacy from

Prury, Lincoln, Mr. hatteitily, Barton, Mr. Hall, Gainsborough,

Illbra the use of this Medicine, that speedy relief for which it is so
