I The Proprietor carefully watched and noteS^ I the symptoms produced by these herbs, and ,:1 eventually perfected the " \ j East-Indian Remedies, which he has administered with such. ■$&• varying success that thousands of persons, in all grades of society, have been radically cured of the above painful diseases, and h'aveijex«r< I pressed their grateful thanks in ardent ,I^*!.! f guage for the cure effected by these medicines] '. Many hundreds of persons greviouslylaX flicted by Rlieumatism and .Swollen JokiU, overcome by diseases, worn out with many, years of suffering, racked with pain, unable to j sleep by night, or "work during the day—to '» whom life was a burden, and from whom even hope had departed, have been thoroughly] (i cured by these remedies, and are now living witnesses of their healing virtues. The Remedies differ from all other mew .' cines in this most important particular, they don't weaken the patient, undermine ilie mt> stitution, or introduce into the system those mineral poisons so pernicious to the blood.— On the contrary, they relieve at once, fin^n eradicate pain, subdue the torture of Rheumatism, Sciatica, and Neuralgia, and build up naturally the organs to fyclp j tional vigour.

In the history of that time there are ali sorti of .horrible and some comical reminiscences. Pailsful of medicine ; baths of sulphur; baths of brine ; baths medicated; and baths galvanic.— Out of the one the patient came smelling', like a lucifer match: out of another, stewed to an uncommon limpness, or quivering like a galvanised frog. You may be sure that I spent a good ,de4 r , of coin in making the trial of the above ■ so' *• called remedies ; none of them, however, gave, me; permanent relief; but yours, in a;few days|\f after I had taken it, destroyed, the raekingi'^ pain aud gave a general tone to the healtm^y Many of my friends, especially the medical *'' ones, thought bad results would follow; but* . more than seven years have now gone by andl ™* have had no relapse. •} ■ I have since sent scores of people to you; «t"'-'« all classes, and have never heard of your fail'I *"* ing to relieve them. Accept my congratulations that you have successfully established the value of the medi*a cines, despite all obstacles. —Yours very faith"" fully, JOHN J. SHILLINGLAW, Government Shipping Master.
