I was suffering terrible pain mmy shoulders with iheumatistn, preventing me frcm working and sleeping. I U3ed one bottle, and am thankful to say the pain has gone. I believe it is a remedy everyone should have m their possession. I naver had its equal. , F. Berryman. Springbank, Meeraki, March 5, 1891. To Mr Walker. Sir,— I think it right to add my testimony to the wonderful efleots he LONDON RHEUMATIC CUBE. I have Buffered with chilblains for years- I tried everything, bnt never got b« ter. I trieutht LONDON RHEUMATIC CUBE, and three rubbings completely cured me. lam thank, ful there is snch a remedy. I advise every one to always have it m their house. You can make this public if you wish. Feedk. Mitchell. Doyleston, January 8, 1891. Your LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE is marvellous.

The dpotcr at last advised me to go to Chrietchurch and get the foot taken off, which I obj =cted to do. I got vsry disheartened, as there seemed no cura for me. I heard of the LONDON RHEUMATIC GUBE, and got one bottle, and before it was done I was able to lay aside my at oks and to reeume business, and have bad no trouble since. It ift a valuable remedy. I can highly recommend it, as I believe it has no equal. D. MACTHBB3ON.
