ES-IT IS POSSIBLE
TO STOP RHEUMATISM

Rheumatism is a tormenting and
stubborn malady. In some cases it
yields to treatment which is without
avail In other cases.
The darling pains, lame muscles or
stiffened joints only disappear by grad
ually expelling the uric acid, and so
many thousands have been relieved BY
the bloOd-enriching oilfood in SCOTS
Emulsion that you should give It a
faithful trial. SCOTS Emulsion acts as
a powerful blood-purifer by increasing
the red corpuscles and it strengthens
the organs to carry off the acids which
cause the trouble.
Try Scott's Emulsion. Itcannot harm.
IT has helped thousands and may be ex-
actly what you need. No Alcohol.
