 Rheufla passes the deadly poisonous 'cscretions into the bowels and kidneys from which they are quickly thrown off in a natural healthy way.
 Read what 6 reputable physician says about Rheufl1a: 4I have made a most careful investigation of the for rnuIa employed in the manufacture of Rheuina, and 1 heartily recommend 1t as a remedy for all forms of rheuf1a- tism. I find Rheuma far in advance of the methods generally employed in the treatment Of rheumatism, and al- together different in composition, from the remedies usually prescribed. ."-Df M. c. 1yons
 This should give any sufferer from rheumatism confidence to try Ehetma.

She died of stransulation. That the
murder was shrewdly planned and
carefully executed is evidenced by
the Disappearance of the murdcrer's S
tool. No trace has been found OF
what he used TO commit his crime in
this extraordinary manner
