It will be necessary to explain the nature of my complaint. On the passage to this colony, in the ship Jeasie Osborne, I had a severe attack of Rheumatic Fever, and was carried ashore in the most helpless condition. I remained in this state for several months, sutiering the most intense pain. I tried many remedies, but to no effect, and began to despair of ever getting relief. I was recommended by a friend to try your wonderful Blood Restorer. J die: so. and the change—almost from the first dose—was astonishing. I am now perfectly restored to health, and as well as ever I was in my life. Should you feel disposed to give publicity.to this lei ter, I would say to those suffering from Rheumatism—do not delay, but at once take your invaluable medicine." and they will find relief. For myself. I can only say that yoi have my lasting gratitude, and I shall at all times fake it as a pleasure to^ive anyone all the information possible. I herewith enclose a Certificate from two gentlemen (Visit ingOflicsrs of the Fountain of Friendship Lodge of Odd Fellows), and have their permission lo give publicity to it.—l am, dear Sir, yours ever gratefully, Tims. 11.
