much, but it kept troubling me for day
or two and l could see that it kept in

my blood seemed to be boiling and my
brain to be on fire.

and within twenty-four hours all pain
and inflammation had disappeared. If
any I.ader is suffering from any
manner of rheumatic or neuralgia
troubles and desires relief let him
by all means try this same great
remedy. And if any readers doubt the
truth of the above incident or it's state
