TO those afflicted with GOUT, RHEUMA-
TISM, LUMBAGO, SCIATICA, TIC-DOLO-
REIM, PAINS in the HEAD and FACE, often mistaken for the
TOOTH-ACHE, &c. &c.
There is no medicine to whose praise higher and more numerous
testimonials hare been given, than to BLA I R.'S GOUT AND
RHEUMAI IC 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 Stanislaus, 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
Doctor Blomberg, of Misperton-Hall, Yorkshire, 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
effects. Cases have from time to time been published, as transmitted
by, or vita can bear testimony to their extraordinary efficacy from
Mr. Smeeten, Leeds, lir. Drewrj Derby, Mr. Noble, Boston, Mr.
Drury, Lincoln, Mr. hattetsdi r, Barton, Mr. Hall, Gainsborough,
Mr. Gardner, Banbary, Mr. May, Evesham, Mr. Walker, Malmes-
ury, Mr. Ching, Launceston and a multitude of others throughout
the Kingdom, particularly in London and its vicinity, too numerous
for insertion in an advertisement.
The afflicted with those tormenting diseases, Gout, Rheumatic
fie-4 Rheumatism, Lumbago, Sciatica, Pains in the Head and
Face, often mistaken for the Tooth-ache, Tic_Doloreux, &c., will find
from the use of this M dlcine, that speedy relief for which it is so
Celebrated. And while its efficacy is unparalleled for the foregoing
diseases, it must be consolatory to the afflicted with Gout, to be as-
sured that it possesses the property of preventing the disease flying to
the brain, stomach. or other vital parts.

" Seiner nocuit differreparatis."—Ln CAN.
THERE is perhaps no situation in life so full
of embarrassment as when the over-sensitive feel them-
selves compelled to reveal their moral indiscretions, or their physical
Imperfections; to ethers. Day after day does the horror of exposdre
accumulate in the morbid imag*nation, while increasing disease aug-
ments the suffering of the body and the irritability of the mind. Sem:
'ibis of the anguish thus protracted, we haveadoptrd z system which
long practical experience has proved to be highly suceessful, and which
Precludes the absolute necessity of personal communication with
these who recoil from such mode of consultation. A full and minute
description of the case, written in plain language, will enable us to
Brent the patient with delicate secrecy ; and such has been the pecu.
liar nature of cnr practice, embracing every variety of difficult cir:
eumstances that the most timid may feel encouragement in the oppor-
tuelty this afforded them.
Twenty-five years of practice, exclusively devoted to diseases
arising from indiscretion, gaiety, or climate, whereby the constitution
may have become enfeeblml, enable us to promise a restoration to
health, without any interference with the ordinary diet and habits.
Meters. GOSS and Co. are to be consulted, as usual, every day,
at their residence; and Patients in the remotest parts of the coun-
try can he treated successfully on their describing minutely the case,
and enclosing a remittance for (.deice and Medicine. No difficulty
Cali occur, as the Medicines will be securely packed, and carefully
protected from observ...?..n..
