RHEUMATISM,

This severe and painful disease has long
baffied the skill Of thousands Of our most cell
ebrated physicians. Time and money have
been wasted in futile endeavors to obtain
some embrocation that would perform cure !;
but all have failed except HURTS LINIMEsr,
and that has been successful in almost every
instance in which it has been employed.
Rheumatism arises from different causes,
but most generally proceeds from colds, expo
sure to the weather, aud sleeping in damp
rooms. Those who are subject to this COM
plant should avoid remaining in damp places
too long Reader, if you have the rheuma
tlsm, no matter how slight, procure bottle
OF that remedy, 80 celebrated under the name
OF HUNTS LISIaEsT without delay, and apply
1t thoroughly to the parts affected, and pain
will vanish. ~
