" Rhenmo " is a positive antidote . for uric acid poisoning. When Bheumo goes in the poison goes out — tbe two cannot exist ' together. Una acid poison causes Rbcumatism, Gout, Lumbago, Sciatica, nnd kindrrd diseases, and Bheutno is. the only safe and reliable cure. Rbeumo works systematically. As soon as you swallow a dose of Bbeumo it rußhes out to the affected part, kills the poison, removes the swelling, | and eliminates the excess uric acid, whioh is the main cause of agony. There's nothing to compare with Blitumo for prompt results and permanent benefit. It in Nature's remedy, aud acts like Nature. " Rheumo" Gonqaere Rheumatism.
