from comforting to a constant

The only sensible treatment
from which you can expect real

deep down into the blood sup
ply, and kills the germs that
cause the disease, These tiny
germs multiply by the millions
and scatter BY means of the
blood circulation throughout
the entire system. Whether
they attack the muscles, the
joints, limbs or otheh parts of
the body, they are still in the
blood, and will continue to

the blood.
S. S. S. is wonderful blood
remedy, and is the logical treat
ment for rheumatism, because
it promptly permeates the en-
tire blood supply, and searches
out and kills the disease germs.
You can take S. S. S. with the
assurance that you are not ex-
perimenting, for this fine old
remedy has been in constant
use for more than fifty years,
during which time it has been
giving splendid results. So you
owe it to yourself to take
S. S. S. without delay, and dis
card the use of local remedies

Deep Seated Disease Is Caused
by Germs in the Blood.

Rheumatism is sturdy foe,
and it never uses gentle meth
DDS with its victims. So if YOU
are afflicted with the disease,
you may as we'll 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 ap-
plications applied to the sur
face. But you will soon learn
that a disease that can cause so
much pain and suffering is
deep-seated, and has its source
far below the surface Of the
SKIN. he pans may be Slight
at first, and that is where the
victim of rheumatism is often
deceived.
He does not feel that the first
little twinges of pain amount
to much, and hence they are
not promptly Needed. But they
gradually increase in severity
Until it has your entire system
IN its relentless grip. The
pains that seemed so slight at
first become intensely severe
and seem to take delight in
your sufferings.
Of course there has been
cases where some slight relief
was experienced from the use
of liniments and other local ap-
plications, but there has never
yet been a case that was ac-

1.-THE HALF MILE TRACK.

Much discussion has been aroused by
the abolition Of the mile track at the
Fairgrounds. and the consequent con-
struction of a half-mie circuit to re-
place IL.
Adherents Of the mile game main
tain that the sport this summer will
necessarily be deprived OF much of its
former glory and certainly stripped OF
it's higher class. Yet most drivers are
not in the least perturbed and are
ready to point out the increased fea-
lures Of the half-mi tracks from the
spectators angle.
Under the old system there was a
period OF slackened interest in every
race as the field ploughed up the Hill
AT the back stretch, 1t was not until
the leaders swung into the final turn
that the crowd came to It's feet to
cheer home the winner. But with the
new oval the hin has been wiped out
and spectators viii he in closer touch
