Rheurna Conquers
Rheumatism

People who have been rheumatic suf-
ferers for years-yes, even so crippled
that they were unable to help them
selves-have been brought back to ro-
bust health through the mighty power
of Rheuma.
Rheuma acts with speed; 1t often
brings in a few days the relief you
have longed for. 1t helps antagonize
and drive from the systems the poisons
that cause agony and pain in the joints
and muscles.
1t is a harmless, inexpensive remedy,
but gratifying and quick acting, and Is
the one discovery that has forced rheu-
matism and sciatica to yield and dis
appear.
II tortured with rheumatism (any
form) get a bottle of Rheuma from Lee
& Osgood Co. today. If it does not rid
you of all rheumatic suffering your
money will be returned.
