Great Remedy
Knocks Rheumatism
Remarkable Effects of a
Remedy That Actually
Irrigates the Entire
Blood Supply.

It sounds queer to take a blood
bath but that is precisely the effect Of
a most remarkable remedy known as
S. S. S. 1t has the peculiar action Of
Soaking through the intestines directly
into the blood. In five minutes its
influence is at work in every artery,
vein and tiny capillary. Every mem
brane, every organ of the body. every
emunctory becomes in effect a filter to
strain the blood Of impurities The
stimulating properties Of S. S. S. com
pei the skin, liver, bowels, kidneys,
bladder to all work to the one end OF
casting out every irritating, every
pain-inhicting atom Of poison; it dis
lodges by irrigation all accumuIations
in the joints, causes acid accretions to
dissolve, renders them neutral and
scatters those peculiar formations in
the nerve centers that cause such
mystifying and often battling rheu-
gTatic pains
And best Of all, this remarkable
remedy is welcome to the weakest
stomach. If you have drugged your
self until your stomach is nearly para
lyzed, you will be astonished to find
that S. S. S. gives no sensation because
1t is q pure vegetable infusion, is
taken naturally into your blood just
as pure air is inhaled naturally into
your lungs.
You can get It at any drug store,
but be careful not to accept a substi-
tute- If yours is a peculiar case and
you desire expert advice, write to The
