Mr Walker. Sir,- I have gre^t pleasure in lßß6ifying to the wonderful cure effeoted on my koBO by using your London Rheumatic Cube. I bad suffered for three years, and tpant a good deal in doctors and medioinea, bus got no relief. I was ob'iged to wsik with the help of a stick, and had given up all hopeß of ever getting belter. I *aa unable to bond my koee, Buffering great pain, which made me ■ometimea faint. I Rot one bottle of the BO3SIDON BHBUMA'UO CURE, and the fltit robbing gave me suets relief that I oould tap lor joy, and the day following I was able to walk without my stick and go abou* my work &c usual. Oh, such a change ! I waa suffering also with my wriats and haoda, •ad wai unable to saw or knit for a long time. 1 rutoed them well with the Cure, and oan now do my sawing, knitting, and house work $c Iresh as ever. It is marvellous! My neighbors aw aßtonißdsd at me, and I advise thrai all to rase the LONDON RHEUMATIC OUBE for all their ooroplainta. You oan use foil as .you pleaae. Mbs Ahdbew Gabdkeb, Sefton, Ootober 21,1890. Yoar LONDON RHEUMATIO CURE is & ffemesty worthy to be praised. I took rheu matio fever and waa a good while in we hands of the doctors; at last it seamed all to lodge ia my ankle. I had to walk with a eintoh and stick. The doctor at last advised me to go to Chrißtohurch and get the foot taken off, which I objected to do. I got very disheartened, aa there eeemed no cure tor me. I heard of the LONDON RHEUMATIO CURE, and got one bottle, and before it was done I was able to lay aside my sticks acd to resume business, and have bad no trouble Bince. It is a valuable remedy I oan highly recommend it, as I believe it has no equal. D. MACPHER3ON. Liwer High Street, Ohristchuroh, Muy 1893 I have been a sufferer from Chilblains Binoa a boy; my hands broke out every winter, and my feet ware so bad that on Saturday nights I had to fill my boots at the artesian end stand in this till Bhutting time I tried everything, but never got a cure. I wag advised this winter to try the LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE, and to my astonish ment and delight it healed my wounded hands, relieved my suffering feet, and for the first winter I can remember kept me free from suffering. I can recommend it with all con fidence to those suffering with Chilblains. J W Rice Doyleston, January 8, 1891. Your LONDON RHEUMATIO CURB is marvellous. I bad a very sore back, and was goffering with rheumatics, both of whioh have been completely cured by its use. I h&va alao cured my neighbors of their rheumatism, sprains, ohilblains snd sore throats. It baa no equal; everyone should u3e it, Mbr KcCausland. SpringbanV, Mooraki, March o, 1891.
