To the Editor:
Having discovered positive and
speedy cure for Rheumatism, [ address
YOU in the hope that you will give publ
city to my claim. I am well aware tnat
in making the bold assertion that I have
discovered positive cure for Rheumat-
ism there will arise strong doubt IN the
minds of the public as to the truth of
this statement, and that large majority
of the people will class this new dis
covery with the Koch lymph failure and
the Brown-Sequard elixir of life delu-
sion.
1t is to overcome this prejudice that |
invoke the aid of the press. I court the
fullest investigation under your direct
and personal supervision. would sug-
gest that the fairest and surest way to
test the efficacy of this remedy would be
for this company to send 10000 trial bot
ties to the press, there to be given out
absolutely free to all persons afflicted
with Rheumatism, that the name and ad-
dress of each person who accepts the
remedy be entered in a book and at the
end of one week reporter be detailed to
interview the parties who have taken the
medicine, and that the result of each
case be published. By this means there
can be no deception or fraud, and the
value of this remedy will stand or fall
upon the testimony OF those who have
tried it.
improbable as this statement may
seem to YOU, or to those who have doc
tured for wears with the most skilled
physicians without benefit, yet arfim
and am prepared to prove by over 1000
people whom we have cured that this
remedy will cure acute or muscular
Rheumatism in from one to hive days.
It never fails to cure sharp, shooting
pains in the arms, legs, sides, back or
breast, or soreness in any part OF the
body. 1t is guaranteed to promptly cure
lameness, sciatica, lumbago, stiff and
swollen Joints, stiff back and all pains in
the hips and loins. 1t seldom fails to
give relief after one or two doses, and
almost invariably cures before one bottle
has been used.
We do not claim that this remedy will
cure rheumatism where the limbs are
twisted out of shape, or where the dis
ease is complicated by scrofulous dia-
thesis, but by "a careful record we find
that the remedy fails to cure in only
about per cent of the cases in which it
has been tried.
One of the strongest recommendations
of this remedy is that it is absolutely
harmless and that a person can take the
whole contents of a bottle without the
slightest ill-effects. Unlike the medicine
used in ordinary practice for the cure of
Rheumatism, such as iodide of potash
and salicylic acid, which initiate the
stomach and kidneys and disorganize the
general system without e1fectlng a
cure, this remedy acts as strong tonic
and is invaluable in building up weak and
debilitated people.
Believing that there is no cause SO
holy and inspiring, no vocation SO lofty
and ennobling, nothing so sure of mans
gratitude and Gods blessing Jas an hon.
est effort to relieve suffering humanity,
| beg to remain. Yours truly,
JAMES M. MUNYoN.
March 18th, 1894.
These remedies will be distributed ab-
solutely free from the Office of The
