Rheumatic Pain Quickly Relieved by New No Medicines to Take "Cured Me Of Inflammatory Rheumatism of 8 Years' Standing," Writes Man After Using Two Boxes A startling new treatment foi rheumatism, discovered by Alessandro Volta, the eminent Italian physicist, has now reached this country. Here it is repeating its amazing success in relieving rheumatic canes succeeding where years of internal dosing treatments have failed. This new remedy, called Volta after its discpverer.is in the form of aflne powder, which ie not taken internally but is shaken ii. the shoes.

The principle of this method of treating rheumatism is Medication by Absorption. Volta powder is intended to be absorbed through the myriad pores in the soles of the feet, to eliminate excess Uric Acid. By this method rheumatic pain is relieved, and the stomach is saved the risk that accompanies the old-fashioned dosing. Thousands of grateful users of Volta have already testified, in writing, to the amazing benefits they have received from this remarkable and rapid have been the results from the use of Volta Powder, both in this country and in Italy, that the American distributors have authorized local druggists to dispense Volta with an unqualified guarantee of relief from the use of the very first box or your money will be refunded. If you suffer from rheumatic pains, sciatica, lumbago, gout or neuralgia, you owe it to yourself to try this startling scientific treatment.

It is absolutely harmless and will not cost one cent if you do not receive wonderful relief. You can get Volta Powder from all good druggists everywhere. EARL C. ANTHONY Los Angeles (469 meters) THURSDAY, MAY 15 to 6:16 p. Herald ncjvs bulletins.
