By rubbing with liniments

IF you are one Of the many thou

dsm. make up your mind today that
you vii abandon your efforts to rub

is a waste Of tine, during which =
disease is getting a fFmer hold

Rheumatism IS a stubborn disease.
It IS not on the surface. therefore
you must not expect to be able to
cure it with remedies applied to the
surface. No one ever yet effected
a permanent cure IN this way. 50 why
should you continue to suffer while
relying upon treatment that has
failed IN thousands Of cases9
The experience Of others afflicted
with Rheumatism IS your best guide,
and BY following their advice you
can not only save yourself untold.

ease that viii eventually wreck your
body and leave you helpless. Almost
every victim Of Rheumatism has
practically the same experience. They
are so impressed with the pains and
suffering Of the disease. and are so
anxious to get nd Of them that they
have treated the pains alone, and
overlooked their cause. They have
rubbed with hniments. lotions and
ontmens IN an effort to get tempo

themselves any permanent good
