DEAR SIR:-For the alienation of human suffer-

the following facts in my own case:
The past spring was sore afflicted with Sciatic
Rheumatism suffering night afternight and all night,
without the least cessation, the most excruciatng
pains ever knew. My doctor who practiced in my
family for over thirty years, to my entire satisfac
ton, and in whom still have the utmost confidence
said that "medicne would do me no good-he could
not help me, time probably would, and in six or
eight weeks it might leave me; in the meantime
mast grin and bear it, But was not disposed to
do so, and in my desperation caught at the first art
cle which under the name of Quack Or Patent Medi-
cine or any other remedy, promised reliet. 1t hap
pened that this was the $

so, at the same time being without faith in its ell
cacy. folloxe the directions and the results were
that on using the third bottle was sensible that it
was acting powerfully and tavorably, and before u.s.

now have occasion to grin with joy that no longer

Diamond Rheumatic Cure.

IL III e U MI ATTIC Gu IL e .

This medicine is prepared BY careful, experienced
and conscientious physician, in obedience to the de-
sire Of numberless friends in the profession in the
trade and among the people. Every bottle is war;
ranted to contain the full strength of the medicine in
its highest state of purity and development and is
terrible complaint.
In simple cases sometimes one or two doses suffice.
In the most chronic it is to give way by
the of four or five bottles By this efficient and
simple remedy hundreds ofdollars saved to these
who can least afford to throw it away surely it is,
by the purchase OF useless prescriptions.
This medicine is for sale at all Druggists through
out the United States and Canada. If it happens
that your druggist hasnot got it in took ask him to
