the public as a safe and certain cure for Rheumat

enlargement of the bones.
Savannah, May 6th, 1847.
Mr. W. G. Falligant—Sir : This is to certify
that I was severely attacked with Rheumatism
in my feet, so as to prevont’me from attending to
my business. Having been recommended to try
your Rheumatic Liniment, or Pain Killer, I did
so, and was freed from all pain in a short time. 1
am now perfectly well and have not felt any pain
since, and would cheerfully recommend it to my
fellow citizens.

thought I would do so, until found it to give
me almost immediate relief, and what U most
singular, my wife having nn enlargement and

relief herself.
I would recommend it to every person, af
