I've frequently used a product called Chair-Loc for this problem. It is a milky-white product with very low viscosity, and can be used without disassembling the chair. It wicks into the joint, penetrates the wood fibers and swells as it cures, locking the joint in place. I've used it to repair everything from standard wooden chairs and stools to wooden rockers, which exert tremendous stress on the joints. It works, and it holds up to use.
This product, and others of a different appellation with the same properties, is available from Lee Valley Tools, Woodcraft and numerous other woodworking sources. Both of the companies I mentioned also sell over the Web, so I will include their links:

I have to reglue some wooden dining room chairs. The stabilizer rungs have become unglued. I was planning on utilizing my trustee club assembly epoxy for the task. But, last night a warning bell started ringing in my head. Usually it is a police siren, but that is a different problem. Are there properties of furniture glue that make it more suitable for the task then our club assembly epoxy? Thanks in advance?
