RHEUMO will cure you—it has cured thousands of sufferers speedily and effectually. Moreover, it is a rational and'a scientifioremedy. Excess 'uric acid in the blood is the mil cause' of your trouble. Until that excess uric acid is removed you will still continue-to . suffer. SHEUMO acts directly through.'the blood and'neutralises and expels the excess acid from the system. By removing the cause it completes the; cure. ■ -.Read what' Mr. Francis M'Guire, c.o. J. Stewart, Esq., Barrack Hill, Napier, has to , say about RHEUMO: "For two years. I. have' beon a martyr to- Sciatica, had a course of electric massage, besides going-to To Aroha for the ■baths. I have now been in Napier seven weeks, taking hot salt water baths, but all in vain. I tried almost every supposed remedy until , a week ago a friend, and one-time sufferer, persuaded me. to trj RHEUMO. Have taken only two bottles and the result is simply wonderful; can now walk and stoop with ease.", ■ , When practice thms supposte theory, can you hesitate about RHEUMO ?, 2s. 6d.' and 45.: Gd. bottle.-Adyt. ■ '
