HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM
1t Is An Internal Disease And Re.
quircs An Internal Remedy.


quires An Internal Remedy.
The cause of rheumatism and kindred
diseases is an excess of uric acid in the
blood. To cure this terrible disease this
acid must be expelled and the system so
regulated that no more acid will be
formed in excessive quantities. Rheuma-
tism is an Internal disease and requires
an internal remedy. RUBBING with
Oils and Liniments WILL NOT CURE,
affords only temporary relief at best,
causes you to delay the proper treat
ment, and allows the malady to get a
firmer hold on you. Liniments may ease
the pain, but they will no more cure
rheumatism than paint will change the
fiber of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered a per-
feet and complete cure, which is called
Rheumacide. Tested in hundreds of cases.
it has effected the most marvellous cures;
we believe it will cure you. Rheumacide
gets at the joints from the inside, sweeps
the poisons out of the system, tones up
the stomach, regulates the liver and
kidneys and makes you well all over.
Rheumaeide strikes the root of the dis.

left by mistake by the woman who hid
taken the other garment. The avail;
able coat was taken away by the wo-
man whose wrap WAS missing in the
hope that the mistake would be recti-
fed without much trouble.
Several days passed. and no claim
was made for the coat the guest had
worn away from the house, and the
woman took it to dealer. where her
garment had been purchased. hoping
that some mark on the substituted
coat might be found by which the
owner could be identified. The plan
was successful. and, much to her
