Cast, September 8,1890. Mr Walker, Sir,— I have great pleasure in testifying to the wonderful oure effected on my knee by using your London Rheumatic Cube. I bad suffered lor three years, and spent a good deal in doctors and medioinea, but got no relief. I was obliged to walk with the help of a stick, and had given up all hopes of ever getting better. I *as unable to bend my knee, suffering great ptin, which made me sometimes faint. I pot on« bottle of the LONDON RHEUMAIIO CUBE, and the first rubbing gave me euoh relief that I could leap for joy, and the day following I was able to walk without my stick aod go abou« roy work as usual. Ob, suoh a change ! I was suffering also with my wrists and hande, and was unable to sew or knit for a long time. I ruboed them well with the Oure, and can now do my sewing, knitting, and house work as fresh as ever. It is marvellous! My neighbors are astonished at roe, and I advise them all to use the LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE for all their oomplaints. You can use this as you please.

I wbs suffering terrible pain in m* shoulders with rheumatism, preventing mo from working and sleeping. I used one bottle, and am thankful to say the pain has gone. I believe it ib a remedy everyone should have in their possession. I naver had its equal. P. Bebbyh'N. Springbank, Mceraki, March 5,1891. To Mr Walker. Sir,— I think it right to add my testimony to the wonderful effects be LONDON RHEUMATIC CUBE. I have suffered with chilblains for years. I tried Bvervtbing. but never Rot. bn ter. I triet'itht LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE, and three rubbings completely cured me. lam thank ful there is such a remedy. I advise every• one to always have it in their house. You oan make this public if you wish. Fbedk. Mitchell Dnyleston, Jartu&ry 8, 1891. Your LONDON RHEUMATIC CURB in marvellous. I had a very aore back, and wae Buffering with rheumatics, both of which have bf en completely cured by its use.

Th' ins ClAkcey AshrmrtOD, 0 tober, 1893.



Your LONDON BHEUMATIO CURE is a i remedy worthy to be praised. I took rheu matic fever and was a good while in the bands of the doctors; at last it seemed all to lodge in my ankle. I had to walk with a oiutch and stick. The dootor at last advised mo to go to Christohurch and get the foot taken off, whioh I objeoted to do. I got vary disheartened, as there xeemed no cure for me. I heard of the LONDON RHEUMATIC CUBE, and got one bottle, and before it was done I was able to lay aside my at:eke asd to reeume business, and have bad no trouble since. It is a valuable remedy I can highly recommend it, as I believe it has no equal. D. M4CPHBB3ON.

I can recommend it with all con fidence to those suffering with Chilblains. J W Bic Bold by all Storekeepers i Wholesale Agent for Colony R. WALKER, Woolston Canal Reserve.
