" Sir,—lt is now three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted
with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which ino aced nee to try
all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could
devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. During
lone 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 preyed 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
may know hew to obtain a remedy fir this distressing disease.
" I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant,
"MICHAEL NASMYTH."

Gout and Rheumatic rills, which afford speedy relief to thee* afflicted

head and face, and all analogous complaints.
The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC
PILLS In curing every description of Gout' and Rheumatism, have

store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They

grateful evidences of its benign influence.

0 V E is the leading feeling of the human
KA breast. Mere exalted than mere passion, it sears high above
every other Impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice,
but mere engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from
Its influence, sr can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo-
.sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling
power of LOVE, which. unlike 'meet things, increases in intensity
with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage.
When union does not take place, however. this passion. this
fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly
poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
ened, all things upon earth. Hove ie it that men,
after of most un-
changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and a life-
time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very ton-
tine spent
which should be Most binding to an honearable mind
it is the effect of conscience., The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, er the results of secret disease, knows himself I. be
disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been
It.stituted by' Divine Law for the fulfilment of important
ends. The wretched eonditien of such a being mild subsequently be
