AN EDITORS EXPERIENCE.-After trying numer-
GUS remedies for Rheumatism, but without perma-
nent relief, was advised to use S. s. S., which had
given permanent relief to others suffering from
rheumatism. After taking half dozen bottles ]
found that the disease was entirely driven out of
my system. and permanent cure secured. This
was over year ago, and since then. even during
our most severe weather. with sudden changes,
have never suffered return of the old attacks
which disabled me from editorial work.
1t is very seldom indeed, that recommend any
thing to the pubic in this manner, but feel 1t due
to your valuable preparation, that has given me
such long desired and much needed relief. to state
these facts thus publicly. am sure that but for
your Specific. should have been laid aside from
journalistic work, as the severest attack was in nv
