Rheumatism must be treated
through the blood, and no remedy
brings such prompt and lasting relief
as S. S. S. It attacks the disease IN
the blood, neutralizes the acids, and
removes all irritating or poisonous
substances from the system.
S. S. S. strengthens and enriches
the thin acid blood, and as it circu-
lates through the body, the corroding,
gnawing poisons and acid deposits
are dislodged and washed out Of the
muscles and joints, and the sufferer
is happily relieved from the discom-
