This is a question which has agitated the minds of thousands of Canadian citizens. The answer is contained in the testimony which comes from all parts of the country, from all classes of people, and never before in the medical history of Canada has there been such .1 popular flood of testimony as that which has poured into the Ryckmn Medicine C035 offices at Hamilton during the last year.

Read the testimony in which the convincing ring of truth is sealed by sworn statements. It is the only true cure for rheumatism on earth. I, Mns. Isuzu Sunmux. residing at 65 Walnut Street South. in the City of Hamil- ton, County of Wentworth, do solemnly declere: That last fall my little boy, aged five and a half years, wee attacked with rheumatism and also pains in his back and kidneys.
