RHEUMATISM A Remarkable Home Treatment Given by One Who Had It. In the year of 1893 I was attacked by Muscular and Subacute Rheumatism. I suffered as only those who are thus afflicted know, for over three years. I tried remedy after remedy, but such relief as I obtained was only temporary. Finally I* found a treatment that cured me completely, and such a pitiful condition has never returned. I have given it to a number who were terribly afflicted, even bedridden, some of them seventy to eighty years old, and the results were the same as in my own case.

I want every suf-j serer from any* form of muscular and sub-acute (swelling at the joints) rheumatism, to try the great value of my improved “Home Treatment” for its remarkable healing power. Don’t send a cent; simply mail your name and address and I will send it free to try. After you have used it and it has proven itself to be that long-1 looked-f or means of getting rid of such forms of rheumatism, you may send the price of it, one dollar, but understand, I do not want your money unless you are perfectly satisfied to send it.
