Rheumatism.

II the people generally knew the true
cause Of Rheumatism, there would be
no such thing as liniments and lotions
for this painful and disabling disease.
The fact is, Rheumatism Is a disordered
state Of the blood-it can be reached,
therefore, only through the blood. But
all blood remedies cannot cure Rheuma'
tism, for it Is an obstinate disease, one
which requires real blood remedy
something more than a mere tonic:
Swift's Specific Is the only real blood
remedy and promptly goes to the very
bottom Of even the most obstinate case.
Like all other blood diseases, the
doctorsare totally unableto cure Rheu-
matism. In fact, the only remedies
which they prescribe are potash and
mercury, and though temporary relief
may result, these remedies produce a
stiffness Of joints and only intensity the
disease. Those who have had experience
with Rheumatism know that 1t becomes
more severe each year.
