RAMSAY, Sec- retary of the ASTON VILLA F.C., writes:— We used Gratton's Em- brocation nearly all last season, and found it most effectual and beneficial in cases of bruises, sprains, &c., &c." NOTTS FOREST F.C. Dear Sirs, For several weeks past we have been using Gratton's Oils for our players, and I think it only right to you to let you know how valuable we found them in all cases of sprains, bruises, 4c. They are undoubtedly the best Embrocation we have ever had. Yours faithfully, H. S. RADFORD. Sec. SHEFFIELD UNITED CRICKET & FOOTBALL CLUB. May 22nd, 1896. Gentlemen, It gives me great pleasure to testify to the excellence of your Embrocation. Yours faithfully, H. H. STONES, Asst. Seey. Mr. W. HARRISON, of the Willows, Walkeringham, Gainsboro', writes:— "Having been troubled with Rheumatism for 37 years I am happy to tell you that by constant use of Gratton's Embrocation I have not one quarter the pain I had, in fact it has done me more good than all the other remedies I have tried during the 37 years put together." Gratton's Embroca- tion keeps the limbs supple & strengthens the muscles. Mr. H. HAYWARD, of Brownhills, Near Y/alsall, writes to us- That he had the misfor- tune to fall down while carrying a piece of tim- ber. The timber fell across his leg and bruised and sprained the guider of his knee, and he was hardly able to walk. He tried all sorts of oils but none seemed to do it any good, but one day he was reading the Wall. sail Advertiser" and found that Boots, Cash Chemists, were adver- tising Gratton's Embro- cation. He decided to buy a bottle, and now he is pleased to say that after the second dress- ing he had relief of pain. and before he had used the whole of the bottle his knee was sound again. He speaks so highly of it that he thinks every working man ought to have a bottle of this Embroca- tion ready to hand. Mr. C. SHAW, Lough. borough :—" I wish to inform you of the great good your Embrocation has done me. I had to walk with two sticks but two bottles quite cured my rheumatism. I have recommended it to several of my friends,who have all found great benefit from it." Mr. W. DAVIES, a Miner, of Treeton, Nr. Bother- ham, says- He had very painful swellings in his knee, and that after several rubbings with Gratton's Embrocation he was able to follow his work as usual. The Embroca- tion, he avers, is worth a guinea a bottle. In fact, it has done him so much good that he recom- mends it to everybody he comes in contact with. To Messrs. Anderson Gratton,— "I have used your Embro- cation for a capped knee, and I found relief in three applications; one bottle set it right. I have also used it for sprains and bruises, rheumatic affections, and have had no other to equal it. At the present time I am using it for a crushed elbow and find great relief from it, and my friends, that I have recommended it to, speak highly of it. "W. G. HUTCHINSON, Carl ton.on- Trent,Newar k." "Mr. Anderson Gratton, I used your Embrocation during my training for the 50 miles Lincoln- shire Road Becord, which I covered in 2 hours 14 minutes. At the finish I was well rubbed down with your Embrocation, and I felt no strains upon the muscles whatever. I shall for the future al- ways use it during my long rides and path racing. "A. E. BUCKLE." Mr. J. HARDING, Walsall. Having tried every avail- able remedy for rheuma- tism with little or no relief, I tried Gratton's Embrocation, and have known more relief from it than every thing else I have ever used. I am very thankful you intro- duced it into Walsall." ALBERT CRAWFORD says Having been troubled with great pains in all my limbs, I resolved to try a bottle of your Em- brocation with the re- sult that a few applica- tions had a wonderful effect, giving me almost immediate relief. I derived such great bene- fit (I never felt worse in my life) I feel compelled to congratulate you upon having been the medium of putting with. in the reach of the public such a valuable pre- paration." I have suffered severely with neuralgia and was recomir ended to try Gratton's Embrocation. I did so and it acted like magic, giving me instant relief. Yours sincerely. "THOMAS BAR B. Derby."
