How to be Rid of Rheumatism. Go after it with Athlophoros. All forms of Rheumatism owe their origin to the presence of Uric acid in the blood. The mischief may show itself in any or several of the following shapes: Acute, Chronic, Inflammatory, Muscular or Rheumatic Fever. Severe attacks may be brought on by exposure, errors in diet, or neglect of the laws of health. But all result from an excess of Uric acid in the system! Uric acid will only yield to one remedy. This remedy acts directly on the cause of the disease. A remedy that dissolves the Uric acid. Athlophoros cleanses the system, purifies the blood, relieves infiammation and permanently cures even the most stubborn cases.
