FACTS vstPREJUDSGE
Prejudice is hard to combat. It cannot be
overcome in a day. More than likely it wasn't
formed hastily. Indeed it may have been
Kradually strengthening its hold for years,
l'orinstance, some folks believe Rheumatism
cannot be cured. Their fathers believed so
before them. So did their grandfathers:
Now, RHEUMATISM CAN BE
CURED, notwithstanding this prejudice,
but the trouble is to make people think so.
The only way we know to meet popular un
belief is to state the PLAIN FACTS, and
then present the POSITIVE PROOFS
that they are facts. It is a fact that the
RUSSIAN RHEUMATISM CURE
not only relieves but banishes Rheumatic
Pain. There is positive proof of it too. It
comes fiom those who have suffered untold
agony with Rheumatism and have been com
pletely cured by this remedy. All who have
tried it have had this experience. Some of
them permit us to print their testimony. It
makes quite a little book, which we send free
to any who are interested enough to ask for it.
A complete Russian Rheumatism Cure,
costs $2,50. If mailed, IOC. additional. If
registered, 10c. more. You'll never need but
one, so the price isn't high. Who wouldn't
give S2.50 to get rid of Rheumatism ?
As yet It cannot be found at the stores, but can be
hid onlv by enclosing the amount as above, and
addressing the American Proprietors,
