KIRK tc COMPANY RAIN WATER MAKER SOFTENS THE HARDEST WATER ' SEND TEN CENTS FOR SAMPLE Omeda i Bl I Many people VII believe Rheu matism is a disease of the blood. Perhaps it is, and perhaps it is not. If it is a blood disease, why is it the pain often stays in the same place ? Why is it the blood doesn't always carry the disease all over the body and into every muscle and joint? Your doctor may be able to explain it, but it is all guesswork any how. Omega Oil is what you ought to use for Rheumatism. It is to be well rubbed on the place where the pain is. No matter whether the trouble is in the blood or not Omega Oil goes in, finds it out and cures it. What's the odds so long as you get relief? Drink plenty of fresh water every night and morning while using Omega Oil. The water will keep the kidneys well flushed, and will bring about a quicker cure of Rheuma tism.
