On the whole, President Wilson
and his cabinet took a more hopeful
view OF the entire Mexican situation
than they had In many weeks. They
are confident that mediation will ac-

Constitutionalists brought out the fact
that at present there is no prohibit

RHEUMA
The Standard Remedy for
All Forms of Rheumatism
and Kidney Troubles

Are you suffering from some form OF
rheumatism Then you need a remedy
for that disease only--not a preparation
said TO cure all the ills OF the human
body Rubbing in liniments viii only
quiet the pain temporarily, but will not
remove the cause.
Rhcuma ceanses the kidneys of the
poisonous uric acid secretions; opens
the clogged veins so that the healthy
blood can pass along the dead matter
from tho entire system; regulates drs-
ordered bowels, and enables a sluggish
liver to convert thin, impure blood into
rich life-giving colpuscles. When this
is accomplished there is no more rheu-
matism, for the source of the disease
will be wiped out.
Rh@ma is free from dangerous drugs.
During the treatment the digestive or
gans are not eranged-Rheuma creates
a healthy appetite. Get a bottle from

sive. Your money returned if it fails.
