I po* ort* bottle of tho LONDON RHEUMA'IiO CURE, and the fir t rubbing gave me BUOh relief that I could leap for joy, and the day following I was able to walk without ray ctiok and go nbou* my work aa usual. Oh, such a change! I was suffering aleo with my wrists and hantfe, and was anible to sew or knit for a long time. I rubbed them well with the Cure, Bnil can now do my eewing, hoiUing, and house work as fresh an ever. It ia marvellous!

To Mr Walker. Sir,— I think it right to add my testimony to the wonderful effects he LONDON RHEUMATIC CUBE. I have suffered with chilblains for years. I tried everything, but never got be ter. I tried the LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE, and tbree rubbings completely cured me, lam thank ful there is such a remedy. I advise every one to always have it in their house. You can make this publio if you wish. Fbedx. Mitchell Doylcston, Januwry 8, !891. Your LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE is marvellous. I had a very sore back, and was suffering with rheumatics, both of wh eh have been completely oured by its use. I have also cured my neighbors of their rheumatism, gpraiop, chilblains and sore throats. It has no tqual; everyone should use it. Mbh MoCauslans. dpringbsntr, Moeraki, March 5, 1891. Mr Walker. Dear Sir, -I can testify to the wonderful cum I got by using the LON DON RHEUMATIC CURB. I was suffering badly with rheumatics ia my hands and wristd ; the back of my hand was badly dia> colored. I rubbed them well with the Cure, and am thankful to tell you they are quite batter, Thomas ClAncey Ashhurton, 0 tober, 1893. Your LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE is a remedy worthy to be iraieed. I took rheu matio fever and was n good while in ihe hands of the doctors; at last it seemed ali to lodge in my ankle. I had to walk with a oiutoh and stick. The doctor at last advieed me to go to Christchurch and get the foot taken off, which I objected to do. I got vary disheartened, as there Feemed no cure for me. I heard of the LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE, and got one bottle, and before v was done I was able to lay aside my sticks and to resume business, acd have bad no trouble since.. It is a valuable remedy I can highly recommend it, as I believe it ha? no equal. D. Macpherson.

I can recommend it with ali con fidence to those Buffering with Chilblain*. J W Bid Sold by all Storekeeper* Wholesale Agent for Colony R. WALKER, Woolaton Canal Reserve,
