Dear Sirs:
For a number of years have been
a great sufferer of Rheumatism and
Backache. About two months ago
I heard of Yarns Rheumatic Remedy
being fine, and a sure cure for Rheu-
matism and Backache, and I went to
the Wimberly Drug Co. at once and
got a bottle. I have taken two bot
ties, and am proud to say that am
just as clear of Rheumatism and
Backache as ! ever was. / am 62
years old, and I consider this med
icine wonderful to cure a man at
my age. You, nor any one else, can
recommend it too highly.
consider it a great blessing to
humanity that this remedy has been
discovered. I gained six pounds
while I was taking two bottles.
Yours respectfully,
A. H. Bruce.
