Gentlemen i About two years ag-o I
had a very severe attack of inflamma
tory iheumatism. I suffered great pain
and was confined to ray bed for fire
weeks. During the time I was treated
by two Physicians without permanent
relief. -Capt? Harker, a conductor on
the Atlantic Coast Line heard of my
condition and 8nt me two bottles of
"Bheumacidb." v I, began to take it
and in a week I got up and walked on
crutches. After taking three bottles of
the remedy I got entirely well and
went back to my business.
I personally knew of a number of
other bad cases that were cured by the
use of your medicine, in this town and
