I could not rest at night. My appetite was gone, my general health shattered, and the pains through out my limbs and Joins were constant and almost insupportable. I was induced to try your Rheu matism Mixture, and found myself getting better after taking three bottles} of it.

I am happy to state that I am now free from the 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 busi noss and houscduties.
