Got to Go Deep to
Cure Rheumatism
Liniments Help Locally, But
the Disease Is Way Down
Inside.

To get at the source Of rheumatic
pains it requires the deep, searching in
hueuce Of S. S. s., the famous blood pur-
iief. Rheumatism is primarily a blood
disease that, since It Is in this vital fluid
that rheumatic tendencies are carried,
lodges in the joints and muscles, there to
irrltate the nerves and produce pain.
And in order to drive out these pain in
hicting pois0ns 1t requires S. S. S. to
sink deep into the tiny glands imbedded
In the innermOst tissues. S. S. S. travels
wherever the blood goes and never loses
its medicinal influence This explains
why st oFercomes the most chronic forms
Of rheumatism, why it dislodges those hard
deposits that thicken the joints, for it acts
as a solvent and assists the blood to pro-
vide in the tissues those natural elements
for which the bodybuilding process con
tinualIy Graves and must have.
If you have never used S. S. S. for
rheumatism, get a bottle today Of any
druggist. Use It as directed and with
some simple home helps you will soon
dethrone the worst and most painful
forms Of rheumatism. Write the medi-
cal department, The Swift Specific Co.,
SO Swift Bldg, Atlanta, Ga, for add
tional advice. Yours may be a case
where a slight help from a specialist
whose advice IS free will solve the mys-
terry that has been making life miserable
for you. When you ask for S. S. S. in

britain to Recognize Emergency.
Conversation between Sir Cecil
Suring-Rice, the British ambassador,
secretary Bryan and counselor Lansing
have led state department officials TO
believe the British government would
recognize the emergency which existed,
as indicated in the American note.
The legal questions which have
aroused controversy and which the
state department officials believe Will
be treated later, apply particularly to
the assertion Of the right TO snip
cargoes of food and other contraband
of a conditional character, as well as
to such absolute cOntraband as copper
where shipped to neutral countries
through which it might reach bel
ligerent.
Deals With Needless DetentiOns.
The state department believes, how
ever, that the preliminary British
note delivered to ambassador Page to-
dav deals with the American protest
against needless detention and seizure
of American cargOes which have com
pIied with all the British requirements
"a far laid down When the United
States, without abandoning its conten-

It is believed that in the preliminary
note Great Britain has promised to re-

II is understood that the British
