Gentlemen , —In justice to you I will state I have been taking your wonderful remedy , the MICROBE KILLER , for a very characteristic case of gout ( podagra ) in my left foot , complicated with general rheumatic symptoms . As an external remedy it gave me almost immediate relief from the great heat and pains in the foot , when all other local applications heretofore used had failed . I have been taking it also internally , and have every reason to believe that , as an internal remedy , it assisted in removing all symptoms of the gout . I have been undergoing your treatment so short a time , and such quick relief afforded , that from my own experience I can cheerfully and heartily recommend it to all suffering from rheumatism and gout as an extraordinary remedy .
