RULE'S HYDROPATHiO SANATORIUM, ASHBURTON. CAN RHEUMATISM BE CURED ? fIpHIS ia a universal complaiut. By JL Borne it is considered to rest merely in the blood. Others think the cause of Fain, Inflammation, and Swelling is owing to the sheaths of the Muscles and iferves wanting the required serum detived from the blood, which ia necessary to lubricate the sheaths of the muscles and nerves. Rheumatism will never be cired while the tongue is red or furred, showing chronic inflammatory action In the mucoua membrane Ifning of the stomach, liver, and bowels. OOR REMtof for this Complaint consists of Fomenting, Steaming, Sweat i&i, Rubbing, Blistering, and Bandaging in its different forms, and we N&YEB PAIL TO CURE. Avoid all Stimulants, Ale, PorteT, Spirits, Medicine or Tobacco, littles animal food. These precautions and treatment would save thousands from i painful existence. W- H~RULF, PROPRIETOR, MATLOCK HOUSE ~T OOK HERE TIM ; Just read this ! JLJ Here's a horae shot in the neck in that great battle Preatonpans in 1715, and the poor brute carried the bullet in his ueek until he died in 1758—just 43 years. I never In all my born days saw anything like ib at all; except my oald mare. KINGSTON shod her. Oeh ! its a great while ago, an' sore enough I'm afraid them shoes and the ould mare I'll never part. I'm certain she'll never wear them oat. What'll I do at all? " Take her back to KINGSTON," said Tim, " he'll cab her feeb down and put the same shoes on again, and then m%ybe she'll wear them out. You ought, to pay him illigantly, Instead of only paying him FIVE SHILLINGS for shoeing your horse." * Share enough an' I will, an' I'll shout, for him too.' 'But he's a ta-to-tler. 1 * Then shure enough that's all the more reason why I'll shout for him,' FHIEDLANDER BROS., LIMITED. Capital—£2s,ooo, of which £10,000 have been paid up.
