In the year 1907 my wife violently attacked with the

sercd to her and before She could get out Of The
bed and walk the ROOM and the same day she went
into the oherroo and the day up stairs and was ey
after able to be about and recovered her health
and strength Esq. Perey further certfies that the late
widow Pierce mother Of the celebrated Count Rufurd
when about so years of age afflicted with the rheu
masm that she could neither walk nor stand, nor even
feed herself without great difficulty and mad been in that
situation number Of weeks, and being advanced IN
years, despaired of ever finding remedy She saa the
effect of DR. Deans dcnes seemed to her almost mrac-
uous; for in very short time after taking Them the pain
removed and her limbs restored to their usefulness
WE certify that Dr. Deans pills have been freely used
by ourselves or families for several years and that we con
slider them safe and useful medicine especially for the
rheumatism; in which complaint, in what we have cxpe
rienced and heard consider them more efecia
