Almost as Com mon in
Sumner as in Winter

While the damp, cold,
changeable weather of Winter
intensifies the pains and
other disagreeable symptoms
of Rheumatism, it is by no
means a winter disease exclu-
sively. Through the long
months of Summer its wan
dering pains and twitching
nerves are felt by those who
are afflicted with this disease.
Rheumatism is a disease
that involves the entire sys-
tenn. It's primary cause re-
suits from the failure of the
eliminative organs, the Liver,
Kidneys and Bowels, to carry
out of the system acids and
refuse matter.
Not only is Rheumatism the
most painful of all diseases,
with its swollen, stiff joints,
throbbing muscles and sting
ing nerves, but it is a formid-
able and dangerous trouble.
If its cause is allowed to re-
main in the blood, and the
disease becomes chronic,
chalky deposits form at the
joints, and they are rendered
immovable and stiff, and the
patient left a helpless cripple.
Every day the poison remains
in the system the disease gets
a firmer hold. The best time
TO get rid Of Rheumatism is in
warm weather; because then

With RHEUMATISM?

the blood takes on new life
and the skin is more active
and can better assist in the
elimination of the poisons.
External applications may
sometimes relieve the pain
temporarily, but they cannot
have any effect on the dis
ease. The blood must be
treated before a cure can be
effected.
S. S. S., a remedy made
from roots, herbs and banks,
is the best treatment for
rheumatism. 1t attacks the
disease at its head, and by
neutralizing the acid, driving
it out, and building up the
blood so it can supply nour-
ishment and strength to every
part of the body, it drives
out rheumatism permanent

1t will not injure the system,
as do medicines which contain
Potash or some other mineral
ingredient. s. S. S. tones up
every part Of the body by its
fine tonic properties. While
cleansing the blood of all poi
sons it builds up the appetite
and digestion and completely
relieves Rheumatism. If you
are worried with the nagging
pains of rheumatism, do not
wait for it to become chronic.

IN FRANCE. April 81. There's "a
new philosophy Of death In the
American army In France. It's hard
90 define, but it's an intangible
something" that has taken hold OF

no longer fear death. It's only very
recently that myself caught the
spirlt OF the thing.
Some people would call Il fatallsm
but the average soldier Expresses Il
thus: I'm not dead yet and | won't
die until my time comes"
