Any physician will tell you
that Rheumatism is a deep
seated blood disease. The pain
is not the disease itself but mere
ly symptom - natures warning
to you that you have been attack
ed. The only intelligent treat
ment, therefore, is through the
blood; treatment directed toward
eliminating the disease germs
from the blood. For years nearly
all the prescriptions used by the
medical profession were those
containing iodide of potash or
mercurial substances, but in near
ly every case these minerals are
more injurious to the system than
the disease itself.
One reason why S. S. S. is so
successful in the treatment of
Rheumatism and other blood
disorders is the fact that it is
purely vegetable remedy, being
made from roots and herbs gath
cred direct from the forests. 1t
contains not a particle of mineral
substance, and acts by driving all
disease germs from the blood
and cleansing it of all impurities.
S. S. S. has been on the market
for fifty years, and every drug
gist has sold it ever since he has
been in business. 1t is sold under
an absolute guarantee that it is
purely vegetable.
Our medical department is
maintained for the benefit of the
afflicted, and if you will write
fully about your case you will be
given complete advice as to the
treatment necessary for your in
dividual case for which no charge
is made Address Swift Specific

 Buildings
 "Of the school buildings reported, 60 per cent have been built in the past ten years. Many of these, in spite of their newness, are in unsatisfactory condition. At least one-half of these new buildings are unsatisfactory in lighting, having windows on three or in many cases on four sides. In a state where the sun is as bright as it is in Arizona, window shades are necessary if the light in the school room is to be regulated. More than one-third of the schools report no window shades. Practically none of them are heated by jacketed stove or furnace and only very few have spe- cial means of ventilation"

shrink and droop at touch or at

are also "carnivorous (fesh-eating)
