Sir,—l think it my duty to state that your Ghol lah's Rheumatism Mixture has proved in my case to bo all that you have represented it to be ; and for the sake of those who may be suffering the misery and torture of severe Rheumatism, such as I endured previous to taking your in valuable medicine I beg to state that I had been suffering the most excruciating agony from severe Rheumatism for over two years. I could not rest at night. My appetite Avas gone, my general health shattered, and the pains through out mv limbs and loins were constant and almost insu oportable. I was induced to try your Rheu matism Mixture, and found myself getting better after taking three bottles'of it. I continued taking the medicine for about six weeks, and became perfectly restored to health, being per fectly cured of all pain or symptoms of Rheuma tism. My appetite is excellent, and I sleep well at night.—Signed), Fred. Williams."

I am happy to state that I am now free from, tho pains I had experienced for so many years. I can sleep well at night, my appetite and general health are much improved, and I can attend to my business and house duties.
