Suffering from any blood disease"
Everybody knows that Rheumatism
is a diseased state of the blood, and
only blood remedy is the only proper
treatment, but remedy containing
potash and mercury only aggravates
the trouble.

S.S.S.F9fSS e Blood

being Purely Vegetable, goes direct to
the very cause of the disease and a per-
manent cure always results. It is the
only blood remedy guaranteed to con-
tain no potash, mercury or other dan
gerOus minerals.
