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 applications alone. Such
treatment sometimes gives relief
from the severe pain, or may re-
duce the inflammation of a swollen
;oint or muscle, but the effect can
not be more than temporary. Each
day the cause is allowed to remain
in the system Rheumatism gets a
frmer hold on its uictim. Purify
your blood of the maammatory uric
acid and then you will cure the dis
ease 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 urate
matter from the circulation and
build the blood up to a nourishing
and healthful condition. Only pure
blood can overcome Rheumatism.
Thousands have cured themselves of
Rheumatism by using S. S. S., a
medicine made entirely OF roots,
herbs and barks; no harmful mineral
enters into its composition, and
S. S. S. is therefore safe for any one
to use. Book on Rheumatism and
medical advice free. S. S. S. is sold
at drug stores.
