Blood Wine Cures
Rheumatism

Probably no medicine nor any doctor
ever cured as many people of rheumatism
as has BLOOD Wine" Rheumatism and
neuralgia in the various form. -muscu-
lar, articular, chronic. PERIODICAL, lrnger-
Ing, in fact. every Kind has been wiped
oas by Blood Wine," and no trace Of il
left.
II you are rheumatic sufferer, try and
picture the pain that these poor people
went through, and the happiness that
they felt at being rid of the disease.
From E. w. Appleton, of Bath, Me-:
"Last June became afiicted with pain in
my right limb. 1t extended from hip to ankle.
Ny physician called it rheumatism. 1t panied
me terribly. in fact could scarcely endure It.
After taking various things without being re.
reved my physician prevailed upon me to take
blood Wine took Just three bottles; that
greatest medicine 1 ever saw"
Such strorg testimonial ought to
carry weight, and convince the most
skeptical. Here is another case, also In
the limbs. Mr.. A. N. Coulter, Of New
Bedford, Mass:
"I suffered for some time with neuralgia in
my limbs. The doctors told me 1t was due to the
state of my blood. and WAS unable to find q
cure until took Blood Wine 1t cured me-"
The New England States are terrible
States for rheumatism. Probably on
account of the moisture. People have it
badly, and are very hard to cure. Read
this one from James Robinson, OF 314
Lisbon Street, Lewiston, Me-:
"Rheumatism has been an old disease with
me. ! had 1t for years. At times 1t almost
drove me to despair. Like most people tried
about everything without relief. when your
BLOOD Wine came out didn't take much notice
Of 1t because had been disappointed so often.
Finally heard SO much about 1t that decided
TO try 1t. Well, was more than surprised at
the result. could hardly believe that was
cured, but am, and / owe 1t solely to Blood
Wine pronounce 1t q wonderful medicine"
In Terra Haute, Ind, at POP Sonth
Eighth Street, lives Mr.. Dan Metzel, an
engineer, who is out in all kinds Of
weather. This is what he says:
"For some years was troubled with rheu.
matism, also a lot Of disturbance with nv kid.
neys, which at times almost made me unable to
work. Hearing of q few cases where Blood
Wine had been used with such good successI
got bottle at Baur's drug store and what It did
for me was plenty. Haven't had a sign of my
old trouble whatever. i used six bottles and
BOW weigh 2e6 pounds"

strong, and most of the buoys In the

strength
The oystermen are fearful Of a repetition
of the heavy currents of last spring. when
the muddy water extended below Colonial
Beach and did much damage to the oyster
beds in that neighborhood.
The currents in the river are caused by
the melting snow and heavy rains in the
mountains along the upper waters of the
Potomac and Shenandoah rivers.
