It would be an act ofinlust;ce to withhold
my testimony of the salutary effects Of Doctor
iissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, as i have
experienced a very unequilocal instance OF
their virtues and efficacy. WIS afflicted with
two severe attacks of what is usually called
Dead Palsy, from which | partially recovered,
but was obliged 20 use crutches to aid me IN
walking when LEFT home TO this were joined
violent Rheumatic pains, the result Of the at
fiction, and had feared the disorder would
accompany me through life ]; bet propidehtlaly
~ was recommended 10 apply 1T George Dob
bin and Murphy for DR.. Ilssots Dfops, and
after using oiliy one bottle, found myself per-
tectIy liberated from my disorder, and am now,
thank God, as fee from pain as # never had
been afflicted. Finding this medicine operate
SO powerfully or myself, determined to ap-
ply it internally to my child, 3 boy only eleven
months old, VITO was then reduced almost to
skeleton with the Bowel Compliant; after
administering it four times to him, his com
plant was entirely removed, ard heisn now re
covering his strengths with great rapidity.

Tor the last five years, has lately left this CITY

the very laudable purpose of forming a COM

rent Of that valuable and lucrative trade can
be diverted from Canada to the u. States. &
1T is the only way toacquire such an ascend
