Deformity of the hands in general Chronic Articular ltheumatlsm. Type No. 1.

It 1B now possible to be cured of any form Of rheumatism without having your stomach tinned upside down or being half choked to death, and every sufferer from rheumatism •hould welcome this new and marvelous discov­ery with open arms and give it an honest trial. This new remedy was discovered by John A. Smith, Mlhtaunkee, Wis , who is generous enough to send a tilal box free to every sufferer who •writes at once. It is a home treatment and will not keep you from your work.

As you know, If you've tried them, every so-fialled lheumatlc remedy on the market to-day, except this genuine cure, -will cause jou violent stomach pains, and some of them are so danger­ous they will cause heart trouble And the •worst of it is they never cure When a per­son has rheumatism the constitution is so run down that he should be very careful what he puts into bis stomach.

It therefore gives me pleasure to present a remedy that will oure every form and variety of theumatlsm without a single unpleasant feel­ing. That remedy Is

"GLORIA TONICV' Before I decided to tell the world about the

discovery of "Gloria Tonic" I had It tried on •Id crippled persons with perfect fpuccess. Bift some people never will believe anything until they know It from experience, so the best and quickest way 1B for jou to write me that you want to be cured, and I will Bend you a trial
