RHETTMO-THE RATIONAL RF MEDY FOR RHEUMATISM Once upon a time people used to think that . liniments, embrocations and external treatment could cure Rheumatism, Gout. Sciatica, and Lumbago. Careful experiments by scientific investigators, however demonstrated that the real causes of these diseases lay in an over acid condition of the blood. If the excess of Uric acid could be eliminated a cure was assured. Many preparations were tried, but it was not until the discovery of RHEUMO that a really successful remedy was placed on the marnot. In Rheumo you have a powerful neutraliser of Uric acid which quickly expels it from the system and gives welcome and lasting relief. Mr Albert Algar, of the Wellington Woollen Co.. Wellington, bears testimony to the efficacy of RHEUMO as a cure for Rheumatism,' Gout, and Sciatica: "I suffered for some time from Rheumatic Gout and Sciatica. I found your medicine RHEUMO. a quick remedy. Two or three doses arrest and cure an attack." Give RHEUMO a fair trial and it will positively cure you of Rheumatism, Gout, Sciatica, Lumbago, and kindred diseases. All chemists and stores 9s 6tl and 4s 6d... NEVER NEGLECT A COLD.
