SENSIBLE TREATMENT
FOR RHEUMATISM

and there is splendid chance for
you to nd yourself of the disease.
First of all, get it firmly fixed in
your mind that all the liniment, in
the world have no effect whatever
on Rheumatism. You may use
them by the gallon, 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.
lhe most common form of Rheu-
matlsm Is caused by millions of
hny disease germs which infest the
blood. The one and only sensible
treatment. therefore, is one which
cleans the blood of these germs,
and routs them entirely out of the
circulation. And every one knows
that this cannot be done by rub
bins the surface with liniments.
This is why S. S. S., the great.
est known blood purifier, is so sue
cessful in the treatment of Rheu-
mahsm. 1t is a powerful cleanser
of the blood. being composed en-
hrely OF the extracts of roots and
herbs of recognized medicinal val
ue. and it promptly routs out of the
blood all disease germs. S. S. S.
has been used for more than half
Of century, and it will prove bene-
hcial in any case of Rheumatism.
If you are a victim of this dis
ease. why waste further time with
the wrong kind of heatmentp Go
to your druggist to-day and get a
bottle of S. S. S.. and begin a
course of treatment that will de-
light you with its results. S. S. S.
will remove the disease germs that
cause your Rheumatism. afording
relief that is genuine.
We maintain a medical depart
ment in charge of a specialist on
Rheumatism, and after beginning
treatment with S. S. S. you are in
vited to write for free medical ad-
vice about your own case. Address

Drives Out the Millions Of
Tiny Pain Demons That
Cause the Disease

There are many ways of treat
ing Rheumatism. but there is only
one night way.
On the streets every day YOU
see the results of improper and
misdirected treatment. You see
victims of this painful and disabling
disease. limping through life. their
lmbs bent and stiff. and their bodies
tortured with aching joints. until
you wonder how they can bear so
much continued suffering.
You see these same unfortunates
hobbling along as another winter
approaches. knowing that there is
another season of suffering in store
for them. You notice that they are
a little more stopped. and their gait
IS a little more difficult as the years
go by.
: If you are beginning to feel the
first slight touches of Rheumatism,
there is just as much pain and suf-
fering ahead of you. if you follow
blindly in the same misdirected
footsteps of unintelligent treatment.
For remember that all these thou
sands of victims of this painful dis
ease have spent countless hours no
doubt, as well as their hard-earned
dollars in a vain effort to find a
cure.
And your own experience will
be just as Disappointing as theirs,
il you follow the old. worn-out and
worthless methods of treatment.
, The whole trouble is that the
symptoms of the disease are being
teated. and not the disease itself.
When you reahze that you must ge,
nd of ths cause of Rheumatism,
and thatis torturing pains will dis
appear ~hen their cause j. removed,
