After You Are Well

From
Will You Pay Your Banker $10.
Not a cent in advance not a penny, remember,
until you. yourself, can freely and unhesitatingly
Bay. I am well again 1 "
Should you begin the treatment, I will let your
Banker or Express Agent hold the money.
Will you under such conditions, to be complete
ly and entirely free from Rheumatism, expend
110.00? That is what I now promise Rheumatics.
My boundless, never-ending faith in Dr. Snoop's
Rheumatic Ke'medy has led me to make and ful
fill this remarkable offer. Positively no physician,
anywhere, has ever before said, "'I will Cure
Rheumatism, else make no charge."
I want to get and must in some way get. every
body, everywhere, to fully and completely under
stand what I myself now absolutely know, about
this unsurpassed prescription. The remedy is
surely remarkable then why not the offer? Every
Druggist nearly, in America, whether located in
harnlet or city, has been, and is now freely selling
at $1.00 per bottle. Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Remedy.
And yet, strange to say, not one sufferer perhaps
in a hundred, even knows as yet of the remedy
and its power to battle against pain. To stir, to
awaken these unknowing ones, to spread the
knowledge of what this prescription can do, I
shall broadly publish this offer, these facts, un
restricted and everywhere. Having no fear of the
final outcome. I shall unhesitatingly tell of my
plan to all.
Reader, you that are well and happy, do an act
of humanity. Tell some tortured and suffering
one that there is yet one way to health-one way
entirely free from risk, or of money loss.
For a complete cure I charge $10.00, for I must
strike a fair-to-all average price. It is true that
many will be cured with a bottle or two of my
remedy, but chronic exceedingly deep-seated and
difficult cases, may require ten; twenty, or even
a greater number. Ho, I believe, who has actually
suffered the pangs of real Rheumatism, will hard
ly complain of the price when cured, because per-
chance, but two or three bottles are needed in his
particular case.
- But to secure this "No Cure, No Pay" privilege,
yon must write me personally. Simply address
Dr. fihoop, Contract B, Racine, Wis. 1 1 o
Do not trouble your druggist, please, about this
plan. He has no authority, nor will he furnish
my medicine, except to sell it at retail, bottle by
bottle. Write me instead today for my "Contract
B" agreement. I will also send my Book on
Rheumatism free, or if you please, medical advice
and book on other diseases.
