1t would be an act of injustice to withhold
my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor
Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, as have
experienced a very unequivocal instance of
their virtues and efficacy. was afflicted with
two severe attacks Of what is usually called
Dead Palsy, from which partially recovered,
hut was obliged to use clutches to aid me in
walking when ! left home; tothis were joined
violent Rheumatic pains, the result Of the at
Fiction, and had feared the disorder would
accompany me through life; but providentialy
ly was recommended to apply at George Dob
bin and Murphy's for DR.. Tissot's Drops, and
after using only one bottle, found myself per-
fectly liberated from my disorder, and am now,
thank God, as free from pain as if never had
been afflicted. Finding this medicine operate
SO powerfully On myself l determined to ap
ply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven
months old, who was then reduced almost to

administering it four times to him, his com
plant was entirely removed, and he now re
