Loose Chair Glue Question

My daughter has brought me a kitchen chair that has gotten loose. I I
think it is an imprted piece. It is basically 4 stretchers with tenons
that fit into mortices in the legs. Three of these joints have gotten
loose and I have been able to seperate them without doing any damage
to the pieces. I am able to fit the pieces back together but needless
to sy they are loose. As I look at the mortices and tenons I can see a
coating of glue on these. I have no idea what kind of glue it is. I am
afraid to sand this glue coating as it will make the pieces looser if
I put them together again.

My guestion is what kind of glue can I use that will secure this
chair?

Thanks for any and all help.
