GENTLESIEN,-I take pleasure in giving
my testimony to your well known ,1IN-
ARD'S LINIMENT, as I feel that it saved
my life. In the winter of 1887 I was at
tanked by a severe pain in my left side
caused by a tall from a building during the
previous summer. I got relief every time
it was bathed with the MINARD'S LINI
MENT and eventualy cured by the 'fuse of
a few bottles. This liniment has made
some wonderful cures.
