RHEUMATISM
PURIFYING The BLOOD
THE ONLY PERMANENT CURE

No case of Rheumatism was ever
cured except by a thorough purifca-
ton of the blood just as long as the
blood remains charged with ferment-
ing uric acid poison, the painful dis
ease will continue. The pains and
aches of Rheumatism are simply SUI
perfcial effects of the impurities in
the circulation, and sometimes may
be temporarily relieved by the appli-
cation of plasters, liniments, hot
cloths, etc. But the person who tribes
with this dangerous disease by de-
pending on local treatment alone, IS
certain to pay for the mistake with
constant suffering later on. S. S. S..
cures Rheumatism in the only way it
is possible to cure the disease. It
goes down into the blood, and re-
moves the uric acid from the circula-
ton, so that the nerves, bones, mus
cles and joints are fabricated and fed
