Cuet, September 8,1890. Mr Walker. Sir,— I have great pleasure m testifying to the wonderful cure effected on my knee by using your London Rheumatic Cdbe. I bad suffered for three years, and Epent a good deal m doctors and medicines, but got no relief. I waß obliged to walk with the help of a stick, and had given up all hopes of ever getting bet tar. I was unable to bend my knee, tuffeting great pain, which made me sometimes faint. I got on« bottle of tho LONDON RHEUMAIIC CURE, and the firtt tubbing gave me such relief tbat I could leap for jay, and the day following I wa able to walk without my stick and go about my work as usual. Ob, such a change ! I was suffering aleo with my wrists and hands, and was unable to sew or knit for a long time. I rubbed them well with the Cure, and oan now do my sewing, knitting, and bouse work as fresh as ever. It is marvellous! My neighbors are astonished at me, and I advice them all to use the LONDON REEUMATIC CUBE for all their complaints. You oan use this as you please. Mks Andrew Gardner, Ssfton, October 21, 1890. I hereby bear testimony to the great relief I pot by using the LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE. 1 wes suffering terrible pain mmy shoulders with rlieumat'sra, preventing me fn m working and sleeping. I used one bottle, and am thankful to say the pain has gone. I believe it is a remedy everyone should have m their possession. I never had its equal. P. Berrvsin. Springbanli, Mceraki, March 5, 1391, To Mr Walker. Sir,— I think it right to add my testimony »o the wonderful effects tba LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE. I have soff^re <* with chilblains for years. I tried evervth'ng, but never got be'ter. I tried the LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE, and three rubbings completely cured me, lam thank ful there is snob a remedy. I advise every one to always have it m their house. You oan make this public if you wish; Fbedk. Mitchell, Doylest^n, January 8, JB9l. Your LONDON RHEUMATIC CURB is marvellous., 1 had a very core back, and was suffering with rheumatics, both of which have been completely cured by its use. I have also cured my neighbors of their rheumatism, sprains, obilblains and sore throats. It has no equal; everyone should use it. Mrs McCausland. Springbanb, Moeraki, March 5, 1891. Mr Walker, Dear Sir,—-I can testify to the wonderful cure I got by using the LON DON KHEUMATIO CURE. I was suffering badly with rheumatics m my hands and wrists; the baofc of my hand was badly die colored. I rubbed them well with the Gore, and am thankful to tell you they are quite better. Thosiab Glances ! Ashburton, Oitober, 1893. I Yonr LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE is a remedy worthy to be praised. I took rheu matio fever and was a good while m the hands of the doctors; at last it seemed all to lodge mmy ankle. I had to walk with a oiutch and stick, The doctor at last advised me to go to Chriftohuroh and get the foot taken off, which I objected to do. I got vary disheartened, aa there deemed no ours for me. I beard of the LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE, and got one bottle, and before i- was done I was able to lay aside my sticks and to resume basiness, and have bad no trouble since. It is a valuable remedy. I can highly recommend it, as I believe it ha* no f qua!. D. MACPHEB3ON. Lower High Street, Ghristohurch, May 1893 I have been a sufferer from Chilblains since a boy; my hands broke out every winter, and my feet were so bad that on Saturday nights I had to fill my boots at the artesian »n i stand m this till shutting time. I tried everything, but never got a curs.' was advised this winter to try tho LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE, and to my astonish ment and delight it healed my wounded hands, relieved my suffering feet, and for the first winter lean remember kept me free from suffering. I can recommend it with all con fidence to those suffering with Chilblains. J W Rice Sold by all Storekeepers Wholesale Agent for Colony B. WALKER, Woolston Canal Reserve. ' DULL TIMES.
