their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of more importance than the preservation of the health
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
us possessed. it unfertunately happens that the unhappy
rlctim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
is early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
trom their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
.reqnently, 'but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach otnart, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the caasei of
Ilsease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by biz Poeae,aion of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his protes-

BLAIR'S GOUT-and, RHEUMATIC -.PILLS.
Copy of a letter from Wilson, chern4t, 3194 Bar

York,

To Mr. Thomas Prout,

" 14th June, 1847.
" SlR,—Having suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from
repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best
medical advice I could obtain, I was induced abont six weeks- ago to
try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic rills. When I commenced
taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were
very much swollen and inflamed: I was suffering the most intense
agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in
the morning comparatively free from pain; and before I had finished
the box. I never was better ,in my life: they have not only entirely
removed the gout, but have also very mach improved my general
health I have since recommended them to four individuals, who
have suffered much from gout and rheumatism •
,and trey all speak
highly of the benefit they hare 'received from them. If you think
my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effeced by your
wonderful medicine, 3 ou are at perfect liberty to publish it.
I am, Sir, yours respectfully.
."
The above testimonial exhibits - the never-failing effectsWlLSO of this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rinuma-
Sim, lumbago, sciatica, And_ all allitiegeuS sinaplaints, speedy and
certain relief.

They require neither confinement nor attention •f any kind, and
invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other
vital part.
