Rheumatism. Nobody knows all about it, and nothing, now known, will always cure it. Doctors try Scotts Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil. when they think it is caused by imperfect digestion of food. You can do the same. It may or may not be caused bv the failure of stomach and bowels to do their work. If it is, vou will cure it; if not, vou will do nu harm. The way, to cure a disease is to stop its cause, and help

the bodv get back to its habit of health. W hen Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil does that, it cures; when it don't, it don't cure. It never does harm. /X The genuine ha?
