GROATS, recommended by the Faculty, patronized
by the Queen avid Royal Family.

..
The attention of Mothers, (especially during the period of

above Patent Articles, being the purest Fatinw of the Oat

~ properties by a steam process. ,
,e,
ROBINSON'S PATENT BARLEY ca lot be equalled
by any article for making pure Barley ater in a few
minutes; all impurities being rejected, i is rendered more
palatable than Barley Water made with earl Barley. It is
an excellent adjunct with milk forthe breakfast table, highly
useful for culinary purposes, light suppers, making delicious
puddings, thickening soups, also with the addition of lemon
juice and sweetened, forms a most grateful beverage.
ROBINSON'S PATENT GROATS, are universally
esteemed for snaking a delicate Gruel; and both the Groats
and Barley are a nutritious food for Children, and those
suffering under difficult digestion.

than perhaps ever was afforded to any public medicine:
The ;acted with those tormenting diseases Gout, Rheu-
matic Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Sciatica, pains in the
head and face, often mistaken for the toothache, tic doloreux,
&e., will find from the use of this medicine that speedy relief
for which it is so celebrated. And while its efficacy is un-
paralleled in the foregoing diseases, it must be consolatory to
the afflicted with Gout to be assured ,that it possesses the

An Effectual Cure of Rheumatism in Lincolnshire.
Forwarded by M r. Jas. Drury. of Lincoln, near the Stunebow.
to Mr Prout, 229 Strand, London.

LINCOLN, March 23, IB3B.—:Sir,-I'have the pleasure to
inform you of the following cure :—William Rawson, of
Narmanby, near Spittal, Lincoln, has been suffering a long
time with ttbeintatism, his left hand and all up his arms
being useless from pain and swelling. Seeing Wail's Pills
advertised for Rheumatism, he applied to me to know if I
thciught he would be relieved if he took the Pills. I recom-
mended him to try a box, he bodght one, and came the next
week to say he felt much relieved, as the swelling of his baud
had gone nearly down : he however finished the box, and
bought a second, and came this day (March '23, 1o8) to say
that he had taken the second box of Pills, and that he was
well, free front swelling, and able to use his hand as usual.
This. Sir, is not the only case of much benefit 1 have been
made acquainted with, received by taking BLAIR'S GOUT
AND RHEUMATIC PILLS; every week fresh cases of
cure and relief come before my notice. But Wm. Rawson,
feeling much gratitude from the relief he has received, begs
to inform
.you of the same, and hopes others may be induced
to try such a valuable medicine for Rheumatism or Gout.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
