RHEUMO WILL CURE YOUR RHEUMATISM

AND KEEP YOU CURED

There are plenty of remedies that will relieve Rheumatism or Gout for .the time being. But there is hut one remedy that cures permanently —and that remedy is Rheumo. Rheumo is compounded for the express and specific purpose of curing Uric Acid troubles. It does not claim to cure other troubles, but it cures and cures positively the Uric Acid diseases —Rheumatism. Gout, Sciatica, Lumbago, and the like. Sufferers who have been ’'acked by the pains of Rheumatism for years have been cured completely after a short course of Rheumo, and many have written grateful letters to this effect. Here is the storv of an aged miner who suffered for seven months with Rheumatism, and was cured by Rheumo. Air W. Wearing is his name and he resides at Mataura. “T am 79 years old,” he writes, “and have lived in Mataura for 40 years. For seven months I was a great sufferer from Rheumatism, so had that at times I could not leave my bed. I took .four bottles of Rheumo with the result that I was completely cured.” Try Rheumo —it has cured thousands. It cured Mr Wearing and it will cure you. Of all chemists and stores, 2s 6d and 4s 6d.—Advt.
