WHAT CAUSED. II.

No one could have told you what
caused rheumatism twenty-five years
ago, and it seems large number do
not know yet, for recently popular
weekly publication came out with an
article by well known and learned
specialist, who frankly stated that
rheumatism was SO elusive that one
could not fathom it. He was mistak-
en- in saying that no one could do this,
for he neglected to remember "Rheu-
maline" in his reckoning, The Corner
Drug Store are free to admit that
Rheumaline has done more for rheu-
matism than anything they have ever
handled, and they have watched the
effect of numberless medicines, and,
as they sell all, naturally their view
would be unbiased.
There is only one reason for Rheu-
maline's success, and that is that it
does the business. 1t acts quickly
and effectively and in direct contra
diction to the eminent gentleman's
statements above. Rheumaline is a
sure and certain relief for rheumatism,
