But it's moldy color is lost in the roast

Some Forms of Rheumatism
Durable.

Rheumatism is q disease
characterized by pains In the
Joints and in the muscles. The
most common forms are: Acute
and Chronic Rheumatism, Rheu-
matte Headaches, Sciatic Rheu-
matism aud Lumbago. All OF
these types can be helped abso-
lutely by applying some good
liniment that penetrates. An
application Of Sloan's Liniment
two or three times a day to the
effected part will give instant
relief. Sloan's Liniment is good
for pain, and especially Rheu-
matte Pain, because it penetrates
to the seat Of the trouble, soothes
the afflicted part and draws the
pain. "Sloan's Liniment is all
medicine" Get a 25c. bottle
