GENTLEMEN,—On the advise of a
friend 1 tried one bottle of your fam-
ous rheumatic remedy, Phrenoline.
and to my surprise it cured me of
rheumatism, from which I have suf-,
fered for many years.
It also cured vie of dyspepsia, from
which T was suffering at the time, so
that I feel now like a new man,
I have tried several. remedies for
rheumatism, some of which did Ine at
certain amount of good, but nothing
that I haye taken has done so much
for inc has your P1lrenoline, and I
have much pleasure in reconunendiug
it to other sufferers.
