four days each. What cheaper JUST

Sensible Treatment
for Rheumatism

chance for YOU to rid yourself
OF the disease.
First OF all, get it firmly fix
ed in your mind that all the lin
iments in the world have no eff
feet whatever on Rheumatism.
You may use them by the gal
lon, and rub the painful parts
by the hour, getting possibly
some temporary relief from the
torturing pains, but you are
making no headway whatever
toward reaching the cause of
the disease.
The most common form of
Rheumatism is caused by mil
lions of tiny disease germs
which infest the blood. The
one and only sensible treat
ment, therefore, is one which
cleanses the blood of these
germs. and routs them entirely
out OF the circulation. And
everyone knows that this cam
not be done by rubbing the sur
face with liniments.
This is why S. S. S., the
greatest known blood purifier,
is so successful in the treatment
of Rheumatism. 1t is power
ful cleanser OF the blood, being
composed entirely of the ex-
tracts OF roots and herbs of
recognized medicinal value, and
it promptly routs out of the
blood all disease germs. S. S. S.
has been used for more than
half of a century, and it will
prove beneficial in any case OF
Rheumatism.
If you are a victim of this
disease, why waste further
time with the wrong kind of
treatment? Go to your drug
gist to-day and get bottle OF
S. S. S., and begin course OF
treatment that will delight you
with its results. S. S. S. will
remove the disease germs that
cause your Rheumatism, af-
fording relief that is genuine.
We maintain a medical de-
partment in charge OF a special
ist on Rheumatism, and after
beginning treatment with S. S.
S. you are invited to write for
free medical advice about your
own case. Address Chief Medi-
cal Adviser, 1O6 Swift Labora-
