Ways for Promoting

New Orleans, La, October pa pub
lie health service drive to save $50, 900
lives in the United States in 1920 was
launched here today at a meeting of
the American health convention by DR..
Leslie l.. Lumsdeu of the public health
service. lie urged the convention to
wage the drive in the same manner.
Liberty loan. food conservation and
Red Cross drives were pushed to sue
cess during the war.
DR.. Lumsden told the convention that
every civic and official body in the
United States should begin at once to
consider ways and means for this health
be completed during the next two
months. He declared that such a health
drive was not "fanciful" and said that
the psychology of the United States to-
day demands reconstruction to make up
for the losses of war
Estimates of the loss in blood and
treasure caused by the world war stag
ser the imagination, DR.. Lumsden told
the Delegates. Toward the end of the
war a pandemic of influenza pneumonia
added its frightful quota Of destruction.
The number or persons killed within a
few weeks in the United States by this
pandemic exceeded more than tenfold
the number of American soldiers who
died from the results of wounds re-
ceived on the battlefelds of Europe. For
good living to be restored, great period
of construction must follow this awful
period of destruction Every days delay
in the beginning of this programme OF
construction is disastrous"

BY RUBBING WITH LINI-
MENTS AND ONT
MENTS.

If you are one Of the many
thousand victims of torturing
Rheumatism, make up your
mind today that you will aban-
don your efforts to rub the dis
ease away with linimentsy To-
tons, ointments, and local APP
plications. Such treatment by
itself is not only futile and de-
void of results, but is a waste
Of time, during which the dis
ease is getting a firmer hold on
your system.
Rheumatism is a stubborn
disease. 1t is not on the sur
face, therefore you must not
expect to be able to cure it
with remedies applied to the
surface. No one ever yet eff
fected a permanent cure in this
way, so why should you con-
tinue to suffer while relying
upon treatment that has failed
in thousands of cases?
The experience of others af-
flicted with Rheumatism is
your best guide, and by follow
ing their advice you can not
only save yourself untold suf-
fering, but rid yourself of a
disease that will eventually
wreck your body and leave you
helpless. Almost every victim
Of Rheumatism has practically
the same experience. They are
SO impressed with the pains
and suffering of the disease
and are so anxious to get rid of
them that they have treated
the pains alone, and overlook
ed their cause. They have
rubbed with liniments, lotions
and ointments in an effort to
get temporary relief, with no
chance of doing themselves
any permanent good.
Such was the experience of
Mr.. Caspus Bib, Of 2424 10th
Ave., Bessemer, Ala, who

lief FROM This terrible affliction.

thousand bituminous coal miners living
and working within 90 miles of the
Pittsburg retail district were said by
their leaders tonight to be ready to
leave the pits when the final order was
given tomorrow.
~ In addition to this. army. many of
whom are of foreign birth, there were in
the neighborhood of 10000 other miners
in q counties of central and western
Pennsylvania awaiting the same call.
Among these men, it admitted
there are many who were in no way con-
nected with the United Mine Workers of
America or any other union, but wsc,
operators and labor leaders agreed, We're

Steel men discussing the possible eff

Physicians now agree that
many forms of Rheumatism are
caused by a germ in the blood.
The pain is not the disease it
self, but merely a symptom
natures warning to you that
you have been attacked. The
only intelligent treatment,
therefore, is through the blood;
treatment directed toward
eliminating the disease germ
from the blood. For years
nearly all the prescriptions
used by the medical profession
were those containing iodide of
potash or mercurial substances,
but in nearly every case these
minerals are more injurious to
the system than the disease it.
self.
One reason why S.. S. S. is so
successful in the treatment of
rheumatism and other blood
disorders is the fact that it is a
purely vegetable remedy, being
made from roots and herbs
gathered direct from the for
ests. 1t contains not particle
of mineral substance, and acts
by driving disease germs from
the blood and cleansing it of all
impurities. S. S. S. has been on
the market for fifty years, and
almost every druggist has sold
it ever since he has been in
business. 1t is sold under an alb
solute guarantee that it is pure
ly vegetable.
Our medical department is
maintained for the benefit Of
the afflicted, and if you will
write fully about your case you
will be given complete advice
as to the treatment necessary
for your individual case, for
which no charge is made. .Ad-
