j, A MOTHER CASE OF NEURALGIA
"A CURED BY RowAsp's MAGIC LoTIoS! !!
MIR. J. T. Rowand.-Sir-Several weeks
since, daughter Of mine about nine years
old, was attacked with the most excrutatlng
pains in her hands. limbs and various parts of
The body. For several days she was almost
frantic from pain. utterng cries and shrleks
cou,innaIly! A burning fever coming on, il
seemed almost impossible that she could live:
When in this condtiun and moi having closed
her ewes for 36 hours n friend Of yours called
and applied yonr celebrated MAGIC LO-
TION, and in less than five minutes the pain
was entirely removed !! A few hours after,
the pans returnedln some measure, but yiel-
ded as at first, almost instantly to the Lotion.
and conlraryt to my expectations, my child re-
recoyeted and is now in good healtIl.
Yours, truly, MARY YOUNG.
