Dreadful
Rheumatism.

No disease has puzzled the doctors
30 completely as rheumatism-that de-
p1orab1e condition of the blood which
so often renders the strongest man as
helpless as a babe. Their mercuria1
and potash remedies may in some
cases impart temporary relief, but are
sure to ultimately result in wrecking
the entire system.
Rheumatism is a deep-seated blood
disease and only a real blood remedy
will have any effect whatever upon
it. Most of the so-ca11ed blood RENE
dies are at best only tonics and cam
not reach an obstinate blood trouble.
One of the most frequent symptoms of
rheumatism is a ting1ing sensation of
the parts affected, generally brought
about from a lack of free circulation
of the blood through the very small
blood conductors. This trouble is al
ways eliminated by the use of S. 5. 81;
it thins the blood, gives it free and
forcib1e circulation, destroys the pois-
onous microbes and restores the circu-
1ation to it's normal condition.
Mr.. Robert H. King, prominent
and influential citizen of West Point,
Va, writes of his experience with this
dread disease:
"About five years ago was great
sufferer from rheumatism. was
treated by all the leading physicians
