NO MORE RHEUMATISM
Torturng Pains and Swollen Joints
Vanish When Rheuma Is Used

vanish When Rheuma is OSed
At last real remedy for rheuma-
tism! And a good one it must be when
Fisher Bros and good druggists every
where sell it on the no-cure no-pay
basis.
Rheumatics should hail the news
with great rejoicing, for it is surely a
remarkable remedy and has record
of almost unbelievable cures Read
what J. F. oliver of Albany, Ga, says
about it:
81 had sciatic rheumatism for two
years and tried every medicine offered
for rheumatism. Tried many doctors,
was treated at one of the best south
ern sanatoriums, and if l improved any
l did not realize it. l am conductor
on the Central of Georgia railroad and
had secured pass to Hot Springs,
Ark, to take treatment About that
time l saw Rheuma advertised and
concluded to try it. l abandoned my
trip, took three bottles, and now feel
as well as ever. I am going to make
everybody | see who has rheumatism
try it. l would not take hundred
thousand dollars for what Rheuma has
done for me. l would rather be dead
than live as / was before the use Of
Rheuma."
If you have rheumatism in any form,
don't delay-try Rheuma today. "a
large bottle, sufficient for two weeks
treatment, is not expensive, and your
money back if it does not give you
quick and joyful relief.
