FOUND 4 MEDICINE WHICH
BROUGHT QUICK RELIEF

Many years ago, a fine old family doctor, who
numbered many rheumatics among his patients, first
started his search for a medicine that would bring
quick relief to those sufferers whom he was con-
stantly called upon for help. His long experience in
treating various kinds of rheumatic troubles enabled
this doctor to put a scientific knowledge into his
efforts and success was his reward, for he was the
discoverer of the now famous Prescription C-2223.
Since then his prescription has been filled time and
time again and it may be truly said that this one
doctor has successfully treated thousands OF rheu-
matte cases.

Only you who suffer from the ~tortures of rheu-
matism realize the joyous tiding expressed in these
words. Only you who have known the torment Of
stiff, aching joints; of sharp, twinging muscular
pains; of dreadful, tortuous nights of ftful fever;
will get the full meaning of this message.
