given on the box. Among the complaints which
have been speedily cured by them we may mention

the system for the change OF seasons An occasional
dose stimulates the stomach into healthy action, and

RHEUMATISM.

This severe and painful disease has long
bafied the skill of thousands Of our most eel
ebrated physicians Time and money have
been wasted in futile endeavors to obtain
some embrocation that would perform cure !;
but all have failed except Husr's LIsnaKsr,
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
tism, no matter how slight, procure bottle
