Hawley, near Bagshot, 13th Jan., 1840.
Sin,—Considering that the public would be greatly bene-
fitted by the publication of the extraordinary benefit which I
haVe derived by taking Blair'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, Horner, 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 most severely, and was under the
care of Surgeon Huston, 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 Board, as before named.
About the middle of last February and the whole of March
my sufferings were dreadful ; in fact, I was unaSle to move
without being carried ; when Major Birch, of Crondale, near
Farnham, a Magistrate of this County, kindly commiserating
my situation, called on me for the purpose of taking my
affidavit, that I might receive my half-pay ; and seeing me in
so miserable a state, advised me to try Blair's Gout and

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 accord-
ing to the directions ; 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 men-
tion that the chalk which had formed on my ears has disap-
peared, and where it formed in my fingers is decreasing. I
have ceased to have those very weakening perspirations to
which I was 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 Rhenmatic Gout,
you would vastly increase the sale of this valuable Medicine.

I am, Sir, your obedient Servant,

CHICHESTER AND THE METROPOLIS.

It was at the former place where the original projectorof this
delectable beverage had his abode ; no doubt the corporation
of that ancient borough evinced their good taste, and marked
their approbation of this
GREAT DISCOVERY,
by presenting to him the freedom of the town ; but with that
the present generation have nothing to do ; suffice it to say,
that this ELIXIR
is now, for the very first time, introduced to the notice of the

tt.
It would be quite in vain to enter into any detail of itshe northern parts of this great Kingdom for
excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed
of the best materials, without any adulteration, and, in
flavour, possesses the combined sweetness of the Grape, the
fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne ;
and while
THE LORDS OF THE CREATION
will find it an excellent addenda to the Dinner Table,
THE GENTLER SEX
may not disdain to sip, the more so as
ROYALTY
has acknowledged its transcendent merit.
It has been intimated that it will prevent
SEA SICKNESS,

but of that we will not vouch, never having crossed the

and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence,

will find it a most social companion to his Calepash and
Calepee, and the temperate man, while he masticates his
biscuit over a glass of it, will be constrained to eulogise this
incomparable. Liqueur.
" Come and try,
Don't like—don't buy,"
is an old saying and a good one ; and as in matters of taste
every man is the best judge, this invitation is given in the full
assurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the
palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst
the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.
