HOME CURE FOR
RHEUMATISM

Do not waste time nor take chances
of becoming a cripple or helpless
sufferer from rheumatism by trying
to cure the disease with external APP
plications alone. Such treatment
sometimes gives relief from the
severe pain, or may reduce the
Inflammation of a swollen joint or
muscle, but the effect cannot be more
than temporary. Each day the cause
is allowed TO remain in the system
Rheumatism gets a friner hold ON
its victim. Purify your blood of the
inflammatory uric acid and then you
will cure the disease permanently.
The system will respond more quickly
and surely to S. S. S. than any other
treatment. This great blood purifier
possesses the penetrating qualities
necessary to drive out every trace of
uratc matter from the circulation and
build the blood up to a nourishing
and healthful condition. Only pure
blood can overcome rheumatism, and
S. S. S. surely creates pure blood.
Thousand; have cured themselves Of
Rheumatism by using S. S. S., a
medicine made entirely of roots,
herbs and banks; no harmful mineral
enters into its composition, and
S. S. S. is therefore safe for any one
to use. Write for Our book on Rheu-
matism and ask for any special med
ical advice. No charge for either.
