Rheumatism.

If the people generally knew the true cause of Rheumatism,
here would be no such thing as liniments and lotions Tor TINS
painful and disabling disease. The factl Is, Rheumatism - aus
ordered state of the blood-it can be reached, therefore, only
through the blood. But all blood remedies cannot cure Rheu.
matism. for it is an obstinate disease, one which requires q rsas
hoo6 remsdv-something more than a mere tonic. Swlfts
Specific is the only real blood remedy, and it promptly goes to
the very bottom Of even the most obstinate case.
