SEVERE RHEUMATIC
PAINS DISAPPEAR

Rheumatism depends on an acid
which flows in the blood, affecting the
muscles and joints, producing infiam-
nation, stiffness and pain. This acid
gets into the blood through some de-
feet in the digestive processes, and
remains there because the liver, kid
neys and skin are too torpid to carry
it of.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old-time
blood tonic, is very successful in the
treatment of rheumatism. II acts
directly, with purifying effect, on the
blood, and through the blood on the
liver, kidneys anil skin, which it
stimulates, and at the same time it
improves the digestion.
Get Hoods Sarsaparilla today.
