Rheumatism a Symptom Of Other Dis
cases.

The alarming extent of chronic rheuma-
tism in the country has led to persistent in
yestigation. 1t has lately been ascertained
that the disease is the result of other COM
plicated diseases of the liver, kidneys, pan
creas, blood, absorbents, etc. In other
words, that rheumatism is symptom. 1t is
also found that, by the removal of the COM
pljcated disease. the rheumatism disappears,
as result which seems to substantiate
the theory. We all know, to our sorrow,
how fruitless the ordinary treatment of this
disease has been, and We now hail with Joy
the dawn of this new discovery. We all
know that the symptoms of these diseases
are generally present in cases of chronic
rheumatism, but few have supposed the
disease to be an effect.
To remove these diseases the surest rem
edy can be found in the SHAKER EXTRACT
OF RooTs OR CURATIVE SYRUP; it appears
TO be working many cures. We refer to

the first two days he not emily consumed
