Helpless
RbeuDlatiCS!.

Rheumatism is no respecter of per-
sons-the healthy and vigorous are
as liable to its attacks as the weak.
The symptoms of the disease are
almost unnoticed at first, so insidi-
ously do they steal over the body;
gradually the little pains and stiffness
increase, until they develop greater
inconvenience day by day.
The knees, ankles, and other joints
of the body ache constantly, swell
ing to several times their natural
size; the patient finds himself unable
to get around; is soon incapacitated
for business, and later is confined to
his bed, utterly helpless.
1t is great mistake to expect relief
from such condition by the applica-
ton of liniments and other external
remedies. The medical profession ad-
NIT that the disease is in the blood,
and it is but reasonable that only a
blood remedy, one purely vegetable,
and free from potash, can afford re-
lief. S. S. S. (Swift's Specitic) is an
unfailing remedy for Rheumatism,
and has cured the severest cases,
where other remedies failed to reach
tie disease.
