Gz;NTLEmEN,—Oa the advise of a friend I 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 me of dyspepsia, from which I was suffering at the time, so that I feel now like a new man. I have tried several remedies for rheuinatisni, some of which did mo a certain amount of goer", but nothing that I haye taken has done so much for me has your Phrenoline, and I have much pleasure in recommending it to other sufferers. .
