Mr.. c.. b. Dozier, living at 1923 Nell
son Ave, Memphis. Tenn, says about
Kinks Rheumatic Remedy: My mother
was sufferer from rheumatism in one
arm. persuaded her to try a bottle
of Kinks Rheumatic Rene dy,. ard after
taking one bottle she was entirely re-
lieved and has been troubled no more.
! take great pleasure in recommending
l<irlt's Rheumatic Remedy for anyone
afflicted with rheumatism"
One bottle Of this fine medicine usual
~ relieves the most stubborn case Of
long standing. But rheumatism is not
always easy to overcome, therefore 1t is
best to keep on taking Kinks Rheu

order to drive the poison out of the

isfied take empty bottle TO the dealer
and get your dollar back. That is GER
