The Pains of Rkeuma tis1n

According to the best authorities,
originate in a morbid condition of
the blood. Tactic acid, caused by
the decomposition of the gelatinous
and albuminous tissues, circulates
with the blood and attacks the
fibrous 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 sometimes
attacked. Thousands of people
have found in Hoods Sarsaparilla
a positive and permanent cure for
rheumatism. It has had remark
able success in curing the most
severe cases. The secret of its sue
cess lies in the fact that it attacks
at once the cause of the disease by
neutralizing the Tactic acid and
purifying the blood, as we'll as
strengthening every function of the
BODY.
