BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.
A severe case of Rheumatism, communicated by Mr. Allen,
Proprietor of the " Nottingham Mercury."
Mercury Office, Nottingham, March 17, 1845.
Sir,—l have the pleasure of forwarding you the particulars of
a case in which BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS
have proved eminently successful.
A young woman, named Mary Wain, accompanied by her
parents, who reside at Watnall, near this town, called upon me
on Saturday last, being desirous of making her case known for
the benefit of the public.
It appears that Mary Wain had for some years past been a
great sufferer from Rheumatism, but that in October last she
was more than ordinarily afflicted so, so much so that her fa-
ther fetched her (torn her place of service, in order that she
might have the attention of her mother at home ; at that time—
to make use of the mother's description, "she could not lift her
hand to her mouth, or her foot the height of sixpence from the
floor." Having heard of Blair's Pills, the father purchased a
box at my shop about the second week in October • the Pills
took immediate effect, for I am assured by the parents and the
girl herself, that on the following day she could not only lift her
hand up to feed herself, but she could also move about on
crutches. Since that time she-has had five more boxes of the
Pills, and, if I may juit,,,,e-from appearances, is as well as she
ever was in her life, and has been so for some months past.
You are at liberty-fo make use of my name if you think it will
add to the weight-of this testimonial.
- I am. Sir, yours truly, RICHARD ALLEN.
To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand, London.
The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEU-
MATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheu-
matism, have secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any
medicine of past or present times. They not only give relief in
a few hours, but restore to perfect health in an inconceivably
short space of time. They are equally speedy and certain in
lumbago? sciatica, pains in the head or face, and indeed of every
rheumatic or gouty affection; in fact, such has been the ra-
pidity, 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 grate-
fulevidences of its benign influence.

The astonishing success which has crowned the application
of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable
cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining
even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice and every
other means had completely failed, most-justly entitles it to the
attention of the afflicted.
This excellent Medicine, so universally. esteemed, is unat-
tended with the least danger ovinconvenience, and hundreds
have experienced its happy and salutary effects since it was
first introduced.
Amongst many which ate being daily received are the follow-
ing testimonials :-
4, Paternoster-rov.
"SlR,—Having been informed of the surprising cure of Mr.
Barnes, of St. Paul's Churchyard, who was so severely afflicted
by Rheumatism, the intense pain causing delirium, that he was
compelled to be confined by a strait waistcoat to prevent his
committing any violence, and whose case was• considered en-
tirely hopeless, I was induced to ascertain the particulars, and
being satisfied of the truth of my information, encouraged me
to make a trial of your most invaluable Medicine, entertaining
little hopes of success, having been many years so severe a suf-
ferer, and tried many said to be very valuable remedies. lam
very happy in being able to add my testimony of the benefit
I derived : after a few days' application the use of my limbs are
perfectly restored, and I am now able to attend my business,
and, making an allowance for my age, never was better in my
life. To those, however severely afflicted and hopeless their
case may have been pronounced, I beg of them to make a trial,
feeling quite satisfied they will be restored to the use otyfutthetior
limbs, from the severe cases that have yielded to this Medicine.
Health is a great blessing to those who can enjoy it, but to
those who are deprived, none feels it so severely as the trades-
man or mechanic, as it generally causes loss of business, and
brings ruin on families. I shall at all times feel it my i
make it known to those afflicted, to evince how grateful I am
for my restoration, and am, Sir, yours truly,
GEORGE POLLARD.
