By RUBBING WITH LIN.
MENTS AND ONT

If you are one of the many thou.
sand victims of torturing Rheuma-
hsm, make up your mind today
that you will abandon your efforts

by itself is not only futile and de-
void of results. but is a waste Of

TEN.
Rheumatism is a stubborn dis
ease. 1t is not on the surface,
therefore you must not expect to be
able to cure it with remedies ap-
piled to the surface. No one ever
yet effected a permanent cure in
this way, so why should you con-
tinue to suffer while relying upon
treatment that has failed in thou
sands of cases2
The experience of others afflicted
with Rheumatism is your best guide,
and by following their advice you
can not only save yourself untold
suffering, but nd yourself of a dis
ease that will eventually wreck your
body and leave you helpless. AL
most every victim of Rheumatism
has practically the same expen-
ence. They are so impressed with
the pains and suffering of the dis
ease, and are so anxious to get nd
of them that they have treated the
pains alone. and overlooked their
cause. They have rubbed with lini-
ments. lotions and ointments in an
effort to get temporary relief. with
no chance of doing themselves any
permanent good.
Such was the experience Of Mr..
Caspus Bib. of 2424 Tenth Ave

tell how he found relief from thi,
