Munyon's Rheumatism Cure is guaran-

the body. Acute or muscular rheumatism
cured in from one to five days 1t never
fails to cure sharp, shooting pains in the
arms, legs, sides, back or breast, or sore
ness in any part of the body in from one
to three hours. 1t is guaranteed to
promptly cure lameness, stiff and swoolen
joints, stiff back, and all pains in the hips
and loins. Chronic rheumatism, scatica,
lumbago or pain in the back are speedily
cured.

fics for nearly every disease, which are
sold by all druggists, mostly for 25 cents a
bottle.
