Uric Acid Poison
Undermines Health
Rheuma Drives It From the System
and Eliminates Rheumatism

Ever since Rheuma has been sold in
this vicinity, the sale of this marvel
GUS rheumatism remedy has been
steadily on the increase. This is due
to the fact that Rheuma is guaranteed
to eliminate rheumatism or money
back.
1t is quick acting remedy, too. You
do not have to wait a long time for
results. Rheuma starts at once to act
on the kidneys, liver, bowels and blood,
and before "a hours the poisonous uric
acid, the chief cause of rheumatism,
has begun to pass out of the body
through the regular channels. 1t is
also good for gout and neuralgia.
One 50-cent bottle will prove to any
rheumatic sufferer that Rheuma surely
will cure rheumatism. Sold by II. G.
Kennedy and all druggists Adver-
