It you suffer from rheumatism in
any of its forms, your first step
towards health must be to purify
your blood. Start now taking

Our laboratory is the best equipp-
ed of its kind in the world. We
have facilities for extracting the
medicinal qualities from herbs
and roots and ageing them--pos-
sessed by no other concern.
S. s. s. is not a drug--itis pure
~ vegetable. 1t is Natures own
remedy---the blood purifying
properties extracted from native
roots and herbs.
s. s. S. has been known for half
a century as a blood purifier, and
for diseases arising from impuri-
ties in the blood. Druggists all
over the Country carry it in
stock---or can get it for you with

THE PAIN Aid CURE
THE CAUSE OF
IT FIRST

Rheumatism is not just a local
soreness. The pain in the muscle
or joint is merely a symptom
the cause is much deeper.
Rubbing the sore spot with oils
or liniments brings a certain
amount of temporary relief, but
the disease is still in the SYSTEM
and the pain will come back again.
Rheumatism is poison in the
blood. That poison must be re-
moved before the disease can be
cured.
The wonderful successes attend
ing the use of S. s. s. in cases of
rheumatism are due to the fact
that S. S. S. goes right to the
source of the trouble.
It acts directly on the blood
purifes the blood and removes
the poison that is the cause of
rheumatism.

that he has discovered q new stream.
There are several reasons why he be-

he saw no wild animal tracks and
empty bait cans on its banks. His
main reason for believing it is an
entirely new stream is the fact that
its water tastes fresh.

peace between the two countries.
On the Mexican side there is but one proposal-that
the American soldiers at once withdraw.
On the American side there is likewise but one pro
posa-that the Mexican army cooperate with the Amer
lean army in suppressing banditry.
Obregon is quoted having talked freely that not to
accede the demands Of Mexico nsures and the
other hand the American forces in Mexico have been
greatly reinforced during the last week.
General Scott is doing everything possible to pre-
serve the peace basis which will accomplish the
object of the Americans in entering Mexico, but would
