Done, January 10, 1895 To Mr Walker, Christeburcb Sir,-—Your London Rheumatic Cure has wrought wonders upon ma I have suffered with rheumatics for years, having often to I walk with a stiok 1 tried many remedies but got no re'ie! I '.lied tbe London, and am glid to my it has quite cured me; and although up in y?ars I fool as aotive ur when I was young, end all by using the London Rheumatic Cure You can publish this if you please.—Mks McMillan Cutfr, September 8,1890. Mr Walker. Sir,- I have great pleasure in testifying to the wonderful cure effected on my kneo fey using your London Rheumatic Cure. I had snffered for three years, trni spent R good deal in doctors and medicines, buo got no reiief. I was obliged to w.slk with the help of a stick, and had givon up all hopes of ever getting better. I was unable to bend my , kaee, suffering great pain, wbioh made me sometimes faint. I Rof; one bottle of the LONDON RHEUMAIIO CURE, and the first rubbing gave me suoh relief that I oould leap for joy, and the day following I was able to walk without my stick and go abou* rcy work as usual. Oh, suoh a change ! I was suffering also with my wrists and hands, and was unsble to sew or knit for a long time. I rubbed them well with the Cure, and oan now do my sewing, knitting, and house work as freßh as ever. It is marvellous! My neighbors are astonished at me, and I advise them all to use the LONDON RHEUMATIC CUBE for all their oomplaintß. You oan use bis as you please, Mbs Andbew Gabdneb, Sefton, October 21, 1890. Your LONDON RHEUMATIC CUBE is a remedy worthy to be praised. I took rheu matio fever and was a good while in the hands of the doctors; at last it seemed all to lodge in my ankle. I had to walk with a ■ oiutoh and stick. Tb<J doctor at lagt advised me to go to Chriatohuroh and get the foot taken off, whioh I objected to do. I got vary disheartened, as there eeemed no cura for me I heard of the LONDON RHEUMATIC OURE, and got one bottle, and before it was done I was able to lay aside my sucks and to resume business, and have had no trouble since. It is a valuable remedy I can highly recommend it, as I believe it has no equal. D; MA.CPHEB3ON. Liwer High Street, Christchoroh, 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 ou Saturday nights I had to fill my boots at tbe arteßian and stand in this till shutting time I tried everything, but never got a cure, I was advised this winter to try the LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE, and to my astonish ment and delight it he&led my wounded hands, relieved my suffering feet, and for the first winter I oun remember kept me free from goffering. I can recommend it with all oon fideace to those suffering with Chilblains. J W Eice Dovleston, January 8, 1891. Your LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE is marvellous. I had a very sore 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, chilblains and sore throats. It has no equal; everyone should use it. Mbs KcCausland.
