Every Trace Of Poisonous Acid
The Great Medicine Has Cured
More Rheumatic Sufferers Than
All Other Combined
Remedies.

Suffers from the varied forms of
rheumatism articular, muscular, in.
tiammatory, lumbago, and gout, should
bear in mind that there is u morbid
principle in the blood when lhcuma.
tism is present. The morbid princi
pie is uric acid, which circulatcs with
The blood and acts upon the joints and
muscles, causing the pains and agon-
les of rheumatism. Paine's Celery
Compound is the only scientific rem.
edy for the parmanent Punishment Of
every form of rheumatism. If your
joints are painful: if the knees, wrists,
elbows, or ankles are swollen, Il few
bottles of Paine's Celery Compound
will soon remove all your troubles
aud pains. If you have inilammatorv
Or sciatic rheumatism panied
with fever, acute, darting pains in the
sciatic nerve from the hip down the
leg. Paine's Celery Compound taken
at once will soon drive out the dis
ease. and make you strong and ac-
tive.
At this particular time when rheu-
matism frequently lays the founda-
tion for other incurablcS and grave
troubles, we specially urge the hon
est use of at least one bottle of DR..
Phelps life giving medicine, Paine S
Celery Compound. No case is too
complicated or difficult for this king
of medicine. Thousands Of happy
and grateful men and women sing lis
praises and continually y rccommcndit.

Says
Some time ago my husband was
taken down with inIiamnatUry rheu-
matism, SO that he was unable to get
out or bed alone or to dress himself.
We employed good doctors and used
many kinds OF medicines, but with no
relict. We finally sent for bottle
of paine's Celery Compound, and be-
fore he had finished it, he was able to
be at work. Another bottle entircly y
cured him. y
