A Purely Vegetable Blood
Remedy Is the Only
Cure.

If the people generally knew the
true cause of Rheumatism, there
would be no such thing as lini-

Rheumatism is u disordered state
of the blood-it can be reached,
therefore, only through the blood.
But all blood remedies can not cure
Rheumatism, for it is an obstinate
disease, one which requires a real
blood remedy-something more than
a mere tonic. Swift's Specific is
