She was taken very ill with gout some weeks ago, and was in lied, not hting- able to put her foot to the ground. I made up my mind to try your Pills, and gave her two. AFTER A FEW HOURS SHE FELT EASIER. She took one more in the afternoon, and I was surprised to find her up from bed when I came home in the evening. In two or three days she was quite well again.
