Rheumatism

According to the best authorities, originates in a
morbid condition of the blood. Tactic acid caused
by the decomposition of the gelatinous and al
luminous tissues circulates with the blood and at
tacks the fbrous tissues particularly in the Joints
and thus causes the local manifestations of the
disease The back and shoulders are the parts
usually affected by rheumatism and the Joints at
the knees, ankles, hips and wrists are also some
times attacked. Thousands of people have found
in Hoods Sarsaparila positive and permanent
cure for rheumatism This medicine, by its puri-
flying and vitalZing action on the blood, corrects
the cause of the disease and it also gives strength
to every function of the body.
