LADY'S ARM WAS
BENT UP DOUBLE
LIKE A JACK-KNIFE

One lady receAtly stated that her
arm used to become doubled up like
a jack-1nife. She couldn't move her
arm up or down because her muscles
were stiff with Rheumatic pains and
the joints of herr elbow and shoulder
were swollen. She said she was
ashamed to leave her house because
people would stare at her. Finally
she got RHU-AID and says she now
can raise her arm above her head
and the swellingI left her elbow and
shoulder. The awful pain and stiff
ness is gone. She is enjoying life
once more and feels like "some other
woman" since taking this New Com
pound.
RHU-AID contains Three Great
Medicinal Ingredients which go right
to the very source of rheumatic
aches and pains. Miserable people
soon feel different all over. So don't
go on suffering! Get RHU-AID.
