Rheumatism
Physician Believes a Genuine
Remedy for the Disease
Has Been Found

Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism
remedy sold by n. B. Danforth. Mar
ket and Second streets. and all
druggists, gives quicker and more
lasting relief than other remedies
costing many times as much.
Rheuma gets at once into the blood
and purifies it, allowing it to feed free
ly into the veins and arteries and
passes the deadly poisonous secre-
tions into the bowels and kidneys,
from which they are quickly thrown
off in a natural, healthy way.
Read what a reputable physician
says about Rheuma. Il have made a
most careful investigation of the form
ula employed in the manufacture of
Rheuma, and I heartily recommend it
as a remedy for all forms Of rheuma-
tism, gout, and complications arising
from neglect of these diseases in their
early stages. On the basis of the for
mula used alone, 1 find Rheuma far
in advance of the methods generally
employed in the treatment of rheuma-
tism, and altogether different in COM
position from the remedies usually
prescribed"
This should give any sufferer from
rheumatism confidence in trying
Rheuma. 1t is so inexpensive you can
not afford to do without it.
