BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PlLLS.—Extract of
letter, written by John Molard Wheeler, Esq., Collector o

having been handed 'by his brother, M

Swindon, to Mr. Prout, for publication :—"I know you have
never had occasion to take Blair's Pills, but let me emphati-
cally tell you, in mercy to any friend who may suffer from
trout, rheumatic gout, lumbago, sciataca, rheumatism, or any
branch 'of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using
r. In thie country they are of wonderful efficacy ; not
am I personally aware of their po,iers, hut I see my
ds and acquaintances receiving unfailing benefit from
use. I would not be without them on any account. If
a in the early stage of disease they dissipate it altogether;
a later, they alleviate pain, and effect a much speedier
than by any other means within my knowledge."_ Sold'!Thomas-icine vendors. See the name of '!Thomas "Gut.
