:OST IMPORTANT TESTIMONIAL OF LIEUT. MASTERS,
H. P. LATE OFVHE ROYAL NEWFOUNDLAND VETERAN
COMPANIES.

(CERTIFICATE.) St. John's' Neufoundland,
12th March, 1838.
Conformably to a Garrison Order, dated 9th March, 1838,
for the assembly of a Medical Board, to take into considera-
tion the state of health of Lieut. Masters, R.V.C., and to
report accordingly. We, the undersigned, Staff Officer and
Civil Practitioner, forming the board authorised by that
order, after a strict examination of the case of Lieutenant
Masters, consider him as entirely unfit for military duty.—
Lieutenant Masters has for several years been afflicted with
Rheumatic Gout, which has produced serious functionary
derangements of his stomach, liver, and other viscera, and
finally given rise to infirmity, weakness, and enlargement of
the articulations, especially of the ancle joints ; his general
health and constitution is much impaired, and, therefore, in
our opinion, he is incapable of further service.

LETTER OF LIEUT. MASTERS TO MR. PROUT, 229, STRAND,
LONDON.

Hawley, near Bagshot, 14th Jan ,1840.
SlR,—Considering that the public would be greatly. bene-
fited by the publication of the extraordinary benefit which I
have derived by taking Blak's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, I
herewith send the particulars of my case, and the Medical
Certificate, by which I was invalided. I was first attacked
with Rheumatic Gout in 1826, from which period to 1833 I
was under the treatment of the late Drs. Rod, Homer. and
Jacobs, as well as by the present Dr. Davis, all of Hamp-
stead. From 1833 to 1838 I was at St. John's, Newfound-
land, doing duty as a Subaltern in the Royal Veteran Com-
panies, where I suffered host severely, and was under the
care of Surgeon Hewson, R.V.C., Staff Assistant-Surgeon
Ferguson, and Mr. Shea, private practitioner there, without
being able to prevent the most violent fits of the gout three
or four times annually, which becoming so bad caused the
Garrison Order for the Medical Order, as before named.
About the middle of last February and the whole of March
my sufferings were dreadful ; in fact, I was unable to move
without being carried ; when Major Birch, of Crondale, near
Farnham, a magistrate of this county, kindly commisserating
my situation, called on me for the purpose of taking my affi-
davit, that I might receive my half-pay ; and seeing me in
so miserable a state, advised me to try Blair's Gout and
Rheumatic Pills, saying, although not gouty himself, he knew
several who had derived benefit from them. I had previously
been advised by a then neighbour, Mr. Fedgent, of Aldershot,
to try them, but I declined until the Major recommended
them. I commenced by taking them according to the direc-
tions ; and, after taking six pills, found a cessation of all
pain, and the remainder of the box effectually settled that fit.
I have since had several attacks, but as soon as I feel the
least sensation of the disease I take the pills, which have at
once removed all symptoms. I may also mention that the
chalk which had formed on my ears has disappeared, and
where it formed in my fingers is decreasing. I have ceased
to have those very weakening perspirations to which I was i
subject before trying the pills.
Were you to print my case, and appoint an Agent in St.
John's, Newfoundland, where my sufferings were known,
and where there are so many afflicted with Rheumatic Gout,
you will vastly increase the sale of this valuable Medicine.

I am, Sir, your obedient Servant,
JOHN MASTERS,
Lona. I. P. Royal Newfoundlaud Veteran empauleg,
