Make the Paint Brush the Partner
of the Scrub Brush in Your Cam
paiqn Against Dirt.

Paint up goes hand in hand with
clean up. When you have busted
and swept and mopped the corners
and the open spaces. put the paint
brush to work. 1t will be easy to
keep things clean then. A painted
surface does not accumulate dirt
like an implanted one does. Besides
dirt is more obvious on Il painted
surface, and less apt to be ignored.
Paintliness is the best incentive TO-
cleanliness-which, You know, is
next to goodness"
Make the paint brush the partner
Of the scrubbing brush. They make
a whole team. Enlish both OF them

Then You Will Be Able to Treat
Il Intelligently.

The medical profession has not
yet fully determined all OF the
causes Of Rheumatism, though they
are pretty well agreed on two
points.
The first is, that the disease is
more than mere local trouble,
that the pangs Of pain come from
q source that Is far below the SIR
face, and therefore Il Is not rea-
sonable to expect any rational re-
lief from a treatment that is locally
applied and reaches only the SUR
face.
When you realize the logic Of
this conclusion, you will see that
you are really wasting your time
and money II you are expecting
any permanent relief from the use

only reach the surface, and have
no effect whatever upon. the origin

Any disease should be treated al

causes as much suffering as Rheu.

while Is one that will show pro-
gress toward getting at the source
OF the disease, and freeing the
victim from It's shaekles.

FIND OUT JUST WHAT
CAUSES YOUR RHEUMATISM

are caused by tiny disease germ
in the blood, which multiplics by
the million, and until these germs
are routed from the blood, you can
see how futile local treatment will
be. In fact, you can use liniments
by the gallon and never hope to
reach the cause of your trouble.
So many people have found real
permanent relief from their Rheu-
matism by the use of S. S. S. that
its use Is justified in practically
every case. Certainly if your Rheu-
matisni Is due to a germ in the
blood, as so many thousands of
cases are, you should lose no time
in beginning the use of S. S. S.,
because you can rely Upon this fine
old blood remedy to do you more
good than any other treatment.
S. S. S. is beneficial In Rheuma-
tism because It is such thorough
blood medicine. It cleanses the
blood Of all impurities, and eradi-
Gates the germs which cause Rheu-
matism. The wonderful results il
has accomplished In other cases
Is proof Of It's great merit. S. S. S.
has been on the market for more
| than fifty years and Is sold by all
druggists.
You are. invited to write our
medical department for full in
formation and advice about the
treatment of your own case. for
which no charge is made. Address
