THIS DONE, YOU ARE WELL OF RHEUMATISM, AND ANY OTHER DISEASE CAUSED BY IMPURE BLOOD. Do not be discouraged if other remedies have failed. RHEUMACIDE has made its reputation by curing alleged incurable cases. Does not injure the organs of digestion. Goldsboro, N. C., Aug. 26, 1902. Gentlemen—Some six years ago I began to have sciatica, and also a chronic case of muscular rheumatism. At times 1 could not work at all (my business being baggage master on Southern R. R.). For days and weeks at a time I could network. My sutfering was intense. Physicians treated me, witliout permanent relief, however. Tried a number of advertised remedies without permanent benefit. Finally I tried “ Rheuiiacidx.” It did the work, and I have had ex cellent health for three years. I can cheerfully say that all rheumatics should us* “ Rheumaoide, 1 ’ for it is by far the best remedy. R. A. LOMAX. Price $i.oo prepaid express, or from your Druggist.
