RULE'S Hydropathic Sanatorium,. | ASHBURTGN. CAN RHEUMATISM BE CURED ? PTIHIS is a universal complaint. By JL some it is considered to rest merely : in the blood. Others think the cause of j Pain, Inflammation, and Swelling ia owing to the sheaths of the Muocles and Nerves wanting the required serum derived from | the blood, which is necessary to lubricate | the sheaths of the muscles and nerves Rheumati: m will never be cured while the tongue is red or furred, showing chronic Inflammatory action in the muc >us membrane lining of the stomach, liver, and bowels. OUR REMEDY for this Complaint consists of Fomenting, Steaming, Sweat ing, Rubbing, "Blistering, and Bandag ing in their different forms, and WE NEVER FAIL TO CORK. Avoid i all Stimulants, Ale, Porter, Spirits, | Medicine or Tobacco; little animal food, j These precautions and treatment would \ save thousands from a painful existence.

I may compare the Wa'-rongoa Springs to the celebrated mineral springs at Plombieres, in France, where the late Emperor Napoleon 111 often visited for the purpose of benefiting his health. As the results of my investigation, I sin of opinion that the Wai-rongoa Mineral Water Springs are of perfect purity and especially suitable for preparing a high class natural Mineral Water. A. G.
