The virus of rheumatism often remains
in the system through life when it does
not cut the thread of existence suddenly,
as it is always liable to do by attacking
the heart. Ere the grip OF this tenacious
disease tightens, it should be Embossed by
that bcnefcent liberator from disease,
Ulostetter's Stomach Bitters, which will
free the sufferer at the outset from subse-
ouent pain and danger. No purer or
more agreeable blood depurent exists, as
multitudes of the rheumatic and neural
gic have aseertained by certified expert
ence 1t is through the medium of a reg
ular action of the kidneys and bladder
that an outlet is afforded for the escape
of impurities which beget not only rheu-
matte, but equity ailments and dropsical
illusions. To these organs the Bitters
give an impulse, never verging on the
bounds of irritation, but sufficiently vigor-
GUS to cause them and the bowels to per-
form their functions with clock-lik pre-
cision. Use it also for dyspepsia, bilious
ness, fever and ague and debility.
