No Rubbing with Giniments
and Ointments

1t you are one of the many
thousand victims of torturine
Rheumatism. make up your mind
today that you will abandon your
efforts to rub the disease away
with liniments. lotions. oint-
ments. and local applications,
Such treatment by itself is moi
only futile and devoid of results,
but is a waste of time, during
which the disease is getting a
firmer hold on your system.
Rheumatism is a stubborn dis
ease. 1t is not on the surface,
therefore you must not expect to
be able to cure It with remedies
applied to the surface. No one
ever yet effected a permanent
cure in this way. so why should
you continue to suffer while re-
lying upon treatment that has
failed in thousands of cases?
The experience of others af-
flicted with Rheumatism is your
best guide. and by following their
advice you cannot only save
yourself untold suffering. but rid
yourself of a disease that will
eventually wreck your body and
leave you helpless. Almost every
victim of Rheumatism has practi-
cally the same experience. They
are so impressed with the pain.
and suffering of the disease, and
are so anxious to get rid of them
that they have treated the pains

cause. They have rubbed with

Any physician will tell you that
Rheumatism is deep-seated
blood disease. The pain is not
the disease itself. but merely a
symptom-nature's warning to
you that you have been attacked.
The only intelligent treatment,
therefore, is through the blood;
treatment directed toward elimi-
mating 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 sub
stances, but in nearly 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 dis
orders is the fact that it is a purely
vegetable remedy. being made
from roots and herbs gathered d.
rect from the forests. 1t contains
not a particle of mineral substance.
and acts by driving all disease
germs from the blood and cleans

years. and every druggist has
sold it ever since he has been in
business. 1t is sold under an abb
solute guarantee that it is purely
vegetable.
