EQUITABLE 8AVINO8 AND LOAN ASSOCIATION 840-842 Stark Street. Portland, OregosL When Sulphurro will put an end to half a century of rheumatic sufferings it is, indeed, a remarkable medicine. The truth is that Sulphurro seems to be an absolute and unfailing antodote for Rheumatism, when the simple directions for its use are followed. The blood poisons that produce the pangs and tortures of Rheu matism cannot exist when Sulphurro spreads its purifying influ ence throughout the system. By means of baths and the internal treatment, Sulphurro introduces Nature's antiseptic and germicide, Sulphur, into the blood. The result is the passing of Rheumatism and blood, skin and stomach disorders. Read the Sulphurro book let (accompanying each bottle or sent free on request) and you will understand why. Sulphurro 50c and t l at all drug stores.
