He writes:— "Whlist suffering from a severe attack of Rheumatic Gout, a friend i brought me a bottle of RHEUMO. ! Its effect was certain; the pain left; •tho swelling went down, and the second bottle completed the cure. My, j wife .also had- a severe attack and one 'bottle effected the cure. After j taking three bottles, a friend who' had been suffering from Rheumatic Gout for some three years, and whose case was considered hopeless, received almost immediate relief from pain and was able to leave her bed.
