Every intelligent person is aware it is impossible to prepare any one medicine for Rheumatism, Gout, etc., to suit every system. We over- come this difficulty by supplying Celmo :' Tablets in two forms, both for Uric Aoid ailments. It further appears that there is also a Celmo No. 2 for indigestion, etc. (described in Chapter V.), Celmo Laxa- tive, Celmo Ointment, and ^lmo Liniment.
