Fight Your Rheumatism
 With the Right Ammunition

Rheumatism is caused by millions of tiny germs. which are entrenched in the blood where theys cannot be reached by locally applied liniments. They must be; literally routed and forced out of the blood by remedy which searches them out and puts tAem to flight.
 For more than 50 years S. s. S.. has been recognized. as the most re- liable blood remedy made. It goes deep down into the blood cells, and purifies and cleanses the circulation of every trace of impurity. It is the right ammunition for Rheumatism and has been used in thousands of cases with gratifying results

Take Every Advantage of This
 Relentless Enemy

Fighting disease is the most important warfare known to mankind, because we are all subject to it's attack.
 One of the most common foes is Rheumatism, which attacks with relent- less violence, and often leaves its yic- tim entirely helpless. Rheumatism is so often successful against it's victim be- cause the wrong ammunition is used againstsit
 Too many people make the mistake of treating only the symptoms and en- tirely overlooking it's source. They are so anxious to find relief from it's tortur- ing pains that they expect local ap- plications of liniments and lotions to accomplish what is impossible.
