No More Rheumatism
Torturing Pains and Swollen Joints
Vanish When Rlieunia Is Used.
At last a real remedy for rheuma
tism! And a good one it must be when
Kennedy's Drug Store, and good
druggists everywhere sell It on the
no-cure no-pay basis.
Rheumatics should hail the news
with great rejoicing, for it. is surely
a remarkable remedy and has a rec
ord of almost unbelievable cures.
Head F. Oliver of Albany, Ga.,
says about it:
"I had sciatic rheumatism for two
years, and tried every medicine offer
ed for rheumatism. Tried many doc
tors, was treated at one of the best
Southern sanatorlums, and if I Im
proved any I did not realize it. I am
a, conductor on the Central of Gear
gin railroad, and find secured a pass
to Hot Springs. AVk., to take treat
ment. About that time I saw Itheu
ma advertised and concluded to try it.
1 abandoned my trip, took three bot
tles, and now feel ps well as ever. I
would not take a Uiundred thousand
dollars for what Rheuma has done
for me. v'.
If you have rheumatism In any form
don't delay—try Rheuma today. A
large bottle ,is hot expensive, and
your money back X it does not give
you quick and joyful relief.
