No More Rheumatism
Torturing Pains and Swollen Joints
Vanish When Rheuma Is Used.

At last a real remedy for rheuma-
tism! And a good one it must be when
Kennedy'E Drug store. and good
druggists everywhere 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 a rec
ord of almost unbelievable cures.
Read what j. +. Oliver of Albany, Ga,
says about it:
Il had sciatic rheumatism for two
years. and tried every medicine offer
ed for rheumatism. Tried many doc
tors, was treated at one of the best
Southern sanatoriums, and If 1 inn
proved any l did not realize it, am
conductor on the Central of Geor-
gia railroad, and had secured a pass
to Hot Springs, Ark, to take treat
ment. About that time I saw Rheu-
ma advertised and concluded to try it.
! abandoned my trip, took three bot
ties, and now feel as we'll as ever. 1
would not take a hundred thousand
dollars for what Rheuma has done
for me-
If you have rheumatism in any form
don't delay-try Rheuma today. A
large bottle is not expensive, and
your money back if it does not give
you quick and joyful relief.

Men and women who get up so
tired in the morning that they
have to drag themselves to their

arise with clear mind, definite
purpose and loads of ambition.
All you have to do is to take
two Bio-Feren tablets after each
meal and one at bedtime-7 a day
for 7 days-then reduce to one
after each meal until all are gone.
Then if your energy and endur-
ance haven't doubled, if your
