A WORD TO THE, WISE

+ Beware Of the druggist who offers
YOU something he claims to be "Just-
as-good" as Abbott Bros. Rheumatic
Remedy, for he is not anxious to
serve you to your own best interests.
It is unw1se to buy anything "Just-as-
good because a just-as-good can't
be as good or it would sell on its own
merit and reputation. There is no
need to be deceived. The genuine
is manufactured in liquid form only
by Albeit Bros. Co., Berwyn. H., and
can be obtained in Keokuk from Ar
thur, Peterson, 1905 Main St.. at one
