Dreadful
Rheumatism.

No disease has puzzled the doctors
so completely as rheumatisn1-tha 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 deep-seated blood
disease and only q real blood remedy
will have any effect whatever upon
it. Most of the so-cal1ed blood RENE
dies are at best only tonics and can
not reach an obstinate blood trouble.
One of the most frequent symptoms of
rheumatism is tingling 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. s.;
it thins the blood, gives it free and
forcible circulation, destroys the pois-
onous microbes and restores the circu-
1ation to its normal condition.
Mr.. Robert H. King, a 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. l was
treated by ali the leading physicians
Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1897-03-28

In the state, but without relief. In
fact, my sufferings grew worse daily,
until dcspaired of ever being cured.
81 had been in this wretched condi-
ton for many months and was almost
a complete wreck, when l first read the
advertisement of S. S. S. Having tried
a dozen or more rheumatic cures and
blood remedies with no success, Twas
almost hopeless, but decided to give
your medicine trial. I did so, and III
a few weeks it had made permanent
cure of me. I was soon a well man
and have never had touch of rheuma-
tism to this day. S. S. S. is indeed
a wonderful medicine, and shall ever
recommend it to all sufferers from this
worst of blood diseases"
S. S. S. stands out distinctly to it.
self as a real blood remedy, and for
half century has been curing obsti-
nate and deep-seated blood diseases
which other medicines fail to reach.
S. S. S. is not drug store preparation
and no druggist can offer substitute
for it. 1t is guaranteed purely vege-
table, and contains not a particle of
potash, mercury, or any other product
of the chemists shop.
S. S. S. never fails to cure Rheuma-
tism, Eczema, Cancer, Scrofula, or any
other disease of the blood, it matters
not what other treatment has failed.
