Disease Caused by Germs in. the I
Blood. /

Disease Caused by Germs in the
Blood.
First Of all, get it firmly fixed in
your mind that all the liniments 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 Roadway whatever
toward reaching the cause OF the
disease.
Medical scientists differ as to the
causes of every form Of rheuma-
tism, but agree that when caused
by q tiny disease germ, the only
effective method of treatment is
to attack the disease at its source,
and cleanse the blood of its cause.

Rheumatism Comes
From Tiny Pain Demons

The most common form Of rheu-
matism is caused by millions OF
tiny disease germs which infest
the blood. The one and only sen
sible treatment, therefore, is one
which cleanses the blood of these
germs, and routs them entirely out
of the circulation.
This is why S. s. S., the greatest
known blood purifier, is so sue
cessful in the treatment of rheu-
matism. 1t is powerful cleanser
of the blood, and will remove the
disease germs that cause your
rheumatism, afferding relief that
is genuine.

Kurt Won 1Assner, chief represen-
Atiye of Germany at Paris. le1-
plrsases the belief that Holland will
not grant the request Of the Allies
for the extradition of the former
kaiser, and argues, also. against the
propriety of demands for the surren-
der by Germany Of other individuals
who ma be demanded for trial.
As to the action to be taken by
Holland, the German envoy may be
right. Holland may decline to yield
up her guest, unwelcome though he
-, and she may v be unwilling
to deport him to his own country,
there to meet such fate as may be in
store for him. But whatever the
Probabilities as to the purse OF the
Dutch government. and whatever de-
mands may be made for the surren-
der by Germany of other persons
demanded by the Allies for trial, it
would be in much better taste for the
German envoy to remain silent on
the subject.
4, The German government has
agreed in the peace treaty to surren-
der for trial persons against whom
charges OF grave crimes are fiied.
And it is too late now for any Ger
nan to question the regularity Of the
proceedings through which such de-
mands are to be made. When de-
mand is made for these persons who
are now within the jurisdiction Of the
German government they will be sur
rendered. They INNS: be. Germany
has formally agreed, and she has not
the power to resist. If surrender is
preceded by futile argument similar
to that just uttered at Paris, it will
merely be another proof that the war
has not pounded sense into some
German heads.
