RULE'S Hydropathic Sanatorium, ASHBURTON. ! CAN RHEUMATISM BE CURED ? THIS is a universal complaint. By soma ifc is considered to rest mesraly |in the biood. Others think the cause of Pain, Inflimma'ion, and Swelling is ov mg to the sheatli3 of the Mujclos and Nerves j wanting the require'] sarum derived from the blood, which ia necessary to lubricite | the she-aths of the muscles and nerves. Rheumati m will never be cured while the tongue ia red or furred, showing chronic inflammatory action in the mucus membrane lining of the stomach, liver, and bowels. OUlt REMEDY for this Complaint consists of Fomenting, Steaming, Sweat ing, Rubbing, Blistering, and Bandag ing in their different forms, and WE NEVER FAIL TO CURE. Avoid all Stimulants, Ale, Porter, Spirits, Medicine or Tobacco; little animal food. These precautions and treatment would save thousands from a painful existence. W.
