This is why a complete systematit treatment is necessary to retgain good health. This complete treatment is found only in a prescription known as Re-Cu-Ma, which contains seventeen well known and thoroughly tested medicines, so skillfully compounded that each one'' performs its function on the various parts of the body perfectly and harmoniously.

The colon, according to Prof. Metchni-koff, is the direct cause of all our aches and pains. In addition, Re-Cu-Ma starts the liver to work pleasantly without griping or pui-ging, purifies and strengthens the blood, thus building firm, healthy, rosy flesh that is free from pimples and other blemishes, relieves rheumaiic and back pains, gives you a digestion that enables you to eat anything yon like without fear of bad after effects and you sleep like a log. In a word, Re-Cu-Ma is a scientific prescription that revives, renews and regenerates your entire system so that you feel constantly full of pep and ambition. Re-Cu-Ma is sold and recommended by Black-Duke Drug and other good drug stores, and if you don't feel a decided change in your condition, after taking according to directions, you get your money back.
