GENTLEMEN,—On the advise of a
friend 1 tried one bottle of your fatu-
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 me of dyspepsia, from
which I. was suffering at the time, so
that 1 feel now like a new man.
I have tried several remedies for
rheumatism, some of which did me a
certain amount of good, but nothing
that I hayn taken has done so much
for me has your Pheenoline, and
have much pleasure in recommending
it to other sufferers.
