BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.—COPY
of a Letter from the Chevalier De la Garde, Chamber-
lain to Stanislaus, late King of Poland.
To Mr. PROUT, 299, Strand.
No. 20, Vere-street, Dec. 11, .38.
Sir,—l feel myself hound by the duty I owe to g. fellow"
creatures to request that vou will publish the fol ing most
extraordinary effects ofitLAIR'S GOUT A RHEU-
MATIC PILLS.

For a period of more than thirty years I have suffered more
than I can well express, but at all times have avoided taking
advertised remedies, having a powerful antipathy to them,
until a few moths since, after having been laid up for 22
weeks of an atack of Rheumatic Gout, principally confined
to the feet, but at times it travelled to various parts of the
frame, and then returning again with accumulated force to
the extremities, and to such a degree that I was delirious for
five days and nights. 1 now say, that fortunately I was
induced to try BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC
PILLS ; and, with truth, I assure yourself and the public
that, in less than 24 hours, I was free from pain ; and by the
time I had taken half a box, the inflammation and swelling
had disappeared. I have the pleasure of adding, that my
Bgeneral health has in no waysuffered, and that the effects of
lair's Pills were imperceptible.—l am, sir, your obedient
servant, THE CHEVALIER DE LA GARDE.
The testimonials of the astonishing effects of this Medicine
are universally accompanied by the fact, that no inconvenience
of any sort attends its administration, but that the patient,
without feeling the operation of the medicine, is universally
left in a stronger and better state of health than experienced
previous to being afflicted with this disease ; and in all cases
of acute suffering, great relief is obtained in afew hours, and
a cure is gen6rally effected in two or three days.
This valuable discovery is sold by Thomas Prout, 229,
Strand, London ; and, by his appointment, by the Apothe-
caries' Company, Syers, Fisher, Rennie, Howell, Aspinall,
Lathbury, Phillips, Ross and Co., Wagstaff, Roberts, May-
nard, Scholefield, Smith, Bradford, Johnson, Blake, Bird,
and King, Liverpool ;: and all respectahle Medicine Vendors
throughput the United Kingdom, 9cl-. per box.
Ask—for thiir'i'Giout and Rheumatic Pills, and observe the
name and address of "ThormaaProut;229, Strand, London,"
impreased,upon the Government StaMp affixed to each box
of the genuine Medicine.
