Deep Seated Disease Is Caused by
Germs in the Blood.

Rheumatism is a sturdy foe and
il never uses gentle methods with
its victims. SO if you are afflicted
with the disease, You may as well
realize from the first that YOU have
a real fight on your hands and that
YOU cannot win unless you can use
the very best methods known.
If the disease was confined TO
the surface, there might be some
logic in expecting relief from its
clutches by local applications APP
piled to the surface. But you will
soon learn that q disease that can
cause so much pain and suffering
is deep-seated, and has its source
far below the surface Of the skin.
The pains may be slight at first,
and that is where the victim Of
rheumatism is often deceived.
Irc does not feel that the first
little twingcS Of pain amount TO
much, and hence they are not
promptly needed. But they grad
ualIy increase in severity until it
has your entire system in It's re-;
lcntIcSs grip. The pains that
seemed 50 slight at first become III:
trnscly severe and seem to take,
delight in your Sutferings.
OF course there have been cases
where some slight relief was expo
