LAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS
Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Monk Bar
_ _

York.

" To Mr. Thomas Prout,

l' 14th June, 1847.

" .9114—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, [ was induced about six weeks ago to
try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. 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 much improved my general
health I have since recommended them to four individuals, who
have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and trey all ,peak
highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think
my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your
wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" J. J. WILSON."
The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and
certain relief. _ _ _

They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and
Invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other
vital part.
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.
Ask for BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, and observe
the name and address of " Thomas I'rout, 223, Strand, London," hn-
pressed upon the Government Stamp affixed to each box of the
Genuine Medicine.
