FOR THOSE TORTURED WITH RHEUMATISM OR GOUT. Every year Rheumatism, Gout, Sciatica, or Lumbago, bings torture ,to thousands of men. To some it comes during the early and more vigorous years, with others, after middle life has been reached, or passed — but in every case the trouble is due to excess uric acid in the blood. Rheumo is the one safe and simple cure for Rheumatism, Gout, and kindred ailments. Perhaps you have read alluring advertisements asserting that medicines claiming to cure almost every other ailment will also relieve Rheumatism. Now, a doctor never gives the same prescription for indigestion, for debility, for liver troubles, for neuralgia and for Rheumatism. No! he knovs — and you know — that each different class of ailment requires a particular medicine. Liniments, pills, and similar nostrums, although cheap, are useless. Rheumo, tried, tested ands proved efficacious by thousands of sufferers, is the one safe and satisfactory cure. Thousands have found relief. You too can be cured. Try it. 2s 6d and 4s 6d.— Advt.
