10 the Editors of Jersey City Newspa-
pers: Several years ago the following let
Ter was addressed to the Philadelphia
Times, which accepted the request con-
tanned therein. and distributed from its
office 10000 walls of my Guaranteed Rheu-
matism Cure.
AS a result of the investigation, which
was made by that paper, more than II, LOCO
persons in Philadelphia reported they had
been cured by rheumatism, and over $780,
oVe persons in Pennsylvania. New Jersey
and New York have unsolicitedly testi-
fled to the efficacy of the remedy I see
no reason why a similar distribution in
Jersey City under the auspices of the press.
should not be equally instrumental in re-
lieving suffering humanity.
To the Editor of the Philadelphia
T1mes:. Having discovered a positive and
speedy cure for rheumatism, I address you
in hope that you will give publicity to my
claim. I am well aware that in making
the bold assertion that 1 have discovered
a positive cure for rheumatism there will
arise a strong doubt in the minds of the
public as to the truth of this statement,
and that a large majority of the people
will class this new discovery with the
Koch lymph failure and the Brown Sc
guard elixir-of-life decisions.
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 me to send 10000 trial bottles to The
Philadelphia Times office, there to be
given out absolutely free to all persons
afflicted with rheumatism, that the name
and address of each person who accepted
the remedy be entered in a book, and at
the end of one week, a reporter to be de-
tailed to interview the parties who have
taken the medicine, and that the results
of each case be published in the Phila-
delphia 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 itA
improbable as this statement may seem
to you or to those who have doctored for
years with the most skillful physicians
without benefit, yet I affirm and am pre-
pared to prove by over 1000 900 people
whom we have cured that this remedy
will cure acute or muscular rheumatism
in from one to five days. 1t never fails
to cure sharp, shooting pains in the arms
legs, sides. back or breast, or soreness in

promptly cure lameness, sciatica, lumba-
go, 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 this remedy will cure
rheumatism where the limbs are twisted
out of shape. or where the disease is com
plicated by a scrofulous ~diathesis. but by
a careful record we find that this remedy
fails to cure 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 absolutely
harmless. and that a person can take the

and salycillic acid, which irritates the
stomach and kidneys without effecting
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
n inspiring. no vocation so lofty and en-
nobling, nothing so sure of mans graft
tude and Gods blessing as an honest eff
fort to relieve suffering humanity, I beg
to remains yours truly.
