Tortures that Need not be Endured

People suffer great deal of pain unneces-
sarily. Among the tortures that need not be
endured are those inflicted by the rheuma
tism and ghout, since the acrid element in
the blood which produces them by contact
with the sensitive covering of the muscles
and JOINTS may be eliminated by the use OF
that matchless depurcnt, liostettcr's Stomach
Bltters, before the inhammatory symptoms
are developed TO any great extent. When it.
is considered what excruciatirg tortures
rheumatism inficts, and what tendency it
has, when fully developed. to attack the
heart, the invisibilty of an early use Of such
reliable antidote becomes at once apparent.
The rheumatic virus is expelled, from the
blood by the increased action of tie kidneys
which acts as straincrs-produced by the
Bitters and the sufferer will find he uses
this supreme defensive agent, that he will
be protected against return ofthc agonizing
complaint Dyspepsia, fever and ague, liver
and bowel compNAtnts and other maladies, are
also cured by this oImirabc remedy.
