A DISTRESSING CASE OF RHEUMATISM. 



LITTLE UTICA, N. Y., APRIL, 1850. 

 DR. G. W. MERCHANT: 



Dear Sir I must give you a sketch of what your 

 Gargling Oil has done for my wife. 



For a number of years she had been afflicted with the Rheumatism 

 to such a degree, that her wrists, joints and fingers were drawn into 

 knots; she had no use of them. She was perfectly helpless ; could 

 not dress or undress herself for years. Her feet and legs were al- 

 most as bad as her hands, so that for two years or more, I had been 

 obliged to lift her in and out of a carriage or wagon. But, thank 

 God, she is, by the use of your celebrated Gargling Oil, almost well 

 again. She can walk, and does her own work, or the principal part of 

 it If the foregoing is worth anything to you we shall be glad of it 

 I remain yours, <fec., S. H. POWELL. 



TO HOUSEKEEPERS AND FARMERS. 



PENDLETOX, MARCH 16, 1850. 



DR. GEO. W, MERCHANT: Sir Having used and witnessed the ef- 

 fects of your celebrated Gargling Oil in the cure of flesh wounds, 

 galls, bruises, and wounds of whatever nature, on horses or cattle, 

 and have used it on my own flesh with the most decided satisfac- 

 tion, and for chapped or cracked hands it is a dead shot the first ap- 

 plication, as I have had abundant means of knowing. I have used 

 it with decided effect in the cure of sore necks, on oxen, occasioned 

 by pressure and chafing of the yoke in wet weather. It also cured a 

 horse of mine of a severe wound of long standing, on the shoulder, 

 when other medicines had failed ; among which was British Oil, by 

 the recommendation of others was fairly tried, but to no purpose. 



To conclude, I have used it in every case where medicine was re- 

 sorted to, with entire satisfaction. 



Yours respectfuUy, (Signed) JAMES D. TAYLOR. 



TO OWNERS OF HORSES. 



THIS MAY CERTIFT, That I have had for many years the care of from 

 ONE HUNDRED TO TWO HUNDRED HORSES, 



and have made use of MERCHANT'S GARGLING OIL for two 

 years past, and can safely say, that for all diseases that Horses are 

 liable to, I never saw its equal. I use about one bottle per month, 

 and recommend it to the public as the best medicine for Horses now 

 in use. E. D. MINOR.
