FOR SCIATICA SUFFERERS. Personal testimony is the best proof of the merits of any remedy- Mias M. E. Hensen, of Kaikohe, Bay of Islands, in a letter dated January 28, 1919, gives convincing proof of the value or RHEUMO in cases of sciatica- She says“ Last summer I contracted Sciatica, and suffered intensely with it. After three months, being worse, 1 went into hospital, where I remained for a fortnight, more or less- under the influence of morphia all the time. I returned no better, and suffered all winter. I then went to Auckland and consulted one of the leading physicians, who recommended a course of electrical treatment. This also proved quite ineffective. In, September a. gentleman who called at the house, observing that I still limped, asked me if I had tried Rheumo, saying it had cured him of Rheumatic Gout some years ago, and surely it ought to care Sciatica too. I purchased a large bottle and before I had finished it I began to lose the stiffness and lameness, f took three small bottles afterwards and found myself absolutely cured, eo that I cannot say too much in praise of it as a wonderful remedy.” Try Rheumo. 2s 6d and 4s 6d. at Chemists and stores 62''
