I had suffered for three years, and spent a good deal m doctors and medicines, but; got no relief. I was obliged to walk with tbe help of a stick and had given up al! hopes of ever geUinp be: tar. I #as unable to bend my knee, suffering great pnin, which made me sometimes 1 faint. I cot oo« bottle of tho LONDON RHEUMA'IIO CUBE, and the firtt rubbing gave me euoh relief trat I could leap for joy, and the day following 1 wos able to walk without my stick and go cbou r my work as usual. Ob, euoh a change I I was suffering also with my wrists and hands, and was urubie to sew or knit for a long time. I rubbed them well with Ihe Oure, and can sow do my sewing, knitting, and bouse work ac fresh as ever. It is marvellous! My neighbors are astonished it roe, and I advißs them all to uee the LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE for all their complaints. Tou can uee this as you please. Mbb Andrew Gaedseb, Safton, October 21, 1890.
