YES-IT IS POSSIBLE
TO STOP RHEUMATISM

Rheumatism is tormenting and
stubborn malady. In some cases il
yields to treatment which is without
avail in other cases.
The sharp pains. lame muscles
or stiffened joints disappear by ex-
pelling the uric acid, and so many
thousands have been helped by the
blood-enriching oil-food in SCOTS
Emulsion that you should give it i
faithful trial. SCOTS Emulsion is
powerful blood-purifier to in
crease the red corpuscles and it
strengthens the organs to carry off
the acids which cause the trouble.
Scott's Emulsion cannot harm; it has
helped thousands and may be exactly
what you need. Free from alcohol.
