SAYS DRINK LEMONADE
FOR RHEUMATISM
ADVERTISEMENTS

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 incliued druggists will
tell you to take half teaspoonful of
Rheuma daily until all misery ceases.
Rheuma is powerful remedy, be-
cause only a powerful remedy can over
come such a terrible disease; but
Rheuma acts speedily-the first dose
taken and you'll know that you will
soon be your healthy self again.
G. A. Parcher and all druggists know
what Rheuma will do, for they sell a
great deal of it and guarantee that
two 50-cent bottles will overcome rheu-
matte agony or money back.
