All pb.vsl- clons however agree tbat every method of treatment Is aided by the administration ot some remedy to relieve the pain and quiet the nervoas system and Dr. W. 8. Schultze expresses the opinion of thousands ot prac- titioners when he says that Antl-Eamnla Tablets should be given preference over all other remedies for the relief ot the pain In all forms ot rheumatism.
