SAYS DRINK LEMONADE
FOR RHEUMATISM

Relief from rheumatism and sciatica
can be obtained by drinking lemonade
and avoiding alcoholic drinks.
To get rid of this stubborn disease,
however; to stop the twinges, pain and
swelling and drive the poisonous accu-
mutations from the joints and muscles,
all generously inclined druggists viii tell
you to take half a teaspoonful OF Rheuma
daily until all misery ceases.
Rheuma is a powerful remedy, because
only a powerful remedy can overcome
such terrible disease; but Rheuma acts
speedily-the first dose taken and you'll
know that you will soon be your healthy
happy self again
The Red Cross Pharmacy and all drug
gists know what Rheuma will do, for
they sell great deal Of it and guarantee
that two 50.cent bottles viii overcome
agony or money back.-Ady.
