To the Editors of Topeka Papers:
Having discovered positive and
speedy cure for rheumatism, L address
YOU in the hope that you will give pup
licity to nv claim | am we'll aware
that in making the bold assertion that
l have discovered a positive cure for
rheumatism 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 discovery with the Koch lymph
failure and the Brown Sequard elixir
oflife delusion.
1t ia to overcome this prejudice that
l invoke the aid of the press. l court
the fullest investigation under your
direct and personal supervision l
would suggest that the fairest and
surest wav to test the efficacy of this
remedy would be for me to send 5000
trial bottles to the Capital office, there
to be given out absolutely free to ali
persons afflicted with rheumatism, that
the name and address of each person
who accepts the remedy be entered IN
book, and at the end of one week re-
porter to be detailed to interview the
parties who have taken the medicine,
and that the results of each case be pub
lished with special permission in the
Topeka newspapers. 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 doctor
ed for years with the most skillful ply
sicians without benefit, yet l affirm and
am prepared to prove by over 100000
people whom we have cured that
this remedy will cure acute or muscular
rheumatism in from one to five 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, lunbago, stiff and swollen joints,
stiff back and al 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 this remedy will cure
rheumatism where the limbs are twisted
out of shape, or where the disease is
complicated by a scrofulous diathesis,
but by careful record we find that this
remedy fails to cure in only about 4 per
cent of the cases in which it has been
tried.
One of the strongest recommendations
for this remedy is that it is absol utely
harmless. and that person can take the
whole contents of a bottle without the
slightest i'll effects. Unlike the medi-
cines used in ordinary practice for the
cure of rheumatism, such as iodide of
potash, and salycillic acid, which IT.
ritates the stomach and kidneys without
affecting a cure. this remedy acts as
strong tonic and is invaluable in build
ing up weak and debilitated people,
Believing that there is no cause so
holy and inspiring, no vocation so lofty
aud ennobling, nothing so sure of mans
gratitude and Gods blessing as an hon
est effort to relieve suffering humanity.
beg to remain yours truly,
JAMES N. MUNYoN.
