BY RUBBING WITH LINZ
MENTS AND ONT
N

If YOU arc one Of the many
thousand victims OF torturing
Rheumatism, make up your
mind today that you will aban-
don your efforts to rub the dis
ease away with liniments, To-
tons. ointments, and local APP
plications. Such treatment by
itself is not only futile and de-
void OF results, but is a waste
OF time, during which the dis
ease is getting a firmer hold on
your system.
Rheumatism is a stubborn
disease. It is not on the sur
face, therefore you must not ex-
pect to be able to cure it with
remedies applied to the surface.
No one ever vet effected a
permanent cure in this way, SO
why should you continue to suf-
fer while relying upon treatment
that has failed in thousands Of
cases?
The experience OF others al
flicted with rheumatism is your
best guide, and by following
their advice you can not only
save Yourself untold suffering,
but rid Yourself OF a disease that
will eventually wreck your body
and leave you helpless. Almost
every victim OF Rheumatism has
practically the same experience.
They arc so impressed with the
pains and suffering OF the dis
ease. and are so anxious to get
rid OF them that they have treat
ed the pains alone, and over
looked their cause. They have
rubbed with liniments, lotions
and ointments in an effort to get
temporary relief, with no chance
OF doing themselves any perma-
nent good.
Such was the experience of
