" Sir,—lt is now three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted
with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced rise to try
all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could
devise, without •btainina any satisfactory relief. trom pain. During
one of the paroxysms a friend advised ma 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 t(t 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, 81r, your obedient humble servant,-
" MICHAEL XASMYTH."

The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of Blair's
Gout and Rheumatic Pills, which afford speedy relief to those afflicted
with gout, rheumatism, inbage; sciatica, tic doloreux, pains in the
head and face, and all analogous complaints.
The never-failing effects of IILAIIt'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC
PILLS in coring every description of ' Gout and Rheumatism, have
secured to theta 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 bead
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 evidences of its benign influence.
Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London, and, by his appoint-
ment, by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United
Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

11OWLAN•DS' MACASSAR OIL.
It may with truth be averred, Butt ROWLANDS' MACAS-
SAR OIL has enjoyed an extent of patronage and public favour dur-
ing the last half century which is totally unexampled in the annals
of felicitous discovery. The extraordinary efficacy, and happy amal-
gamation of its purely exotic materials, have rendered it justly re-
nowned throughout the world for its remarkable virtues in nourish-
ing, preserving, and beautifying the Human Hair. It insinuates
its balsamic properties into the pores of the head, nourishes the Hair
in its embryo state, cleanses it from scurf and dandriff, accelerates
Its growth, sustains it in maturity, and continues its possession of
healthy vigour, silky softness, and luxurious redundancy to the latest
period of human life. In the growth of Whiskers, Eyebrows, and
Mustachois, it is also unfailing in its stimulative operations.' For Chil-
dren it is especially recenimended, as forming the basis of a Beau-
tiful Head of Hair, and rendering the use of the flue comb unne-
cessary.
Its invaluable properties have obtained the ,special Patronage of
her Majesty the Queen, the Court, and the wtfole of the Royal Family
of Great Britain, and of every Court of t'4s civilised world ; and the
high esteem in which it is universally field, together with numerous
Testimonials constantly received r,f its efficacy, afford the best and
surest proofs of its merits.
