some cases, deaden the pain for
the time being. but until you at
tack the disease at its foundation.
you are making no progress toward
a cure. and you are permitting the
trouble to get a hrmer hold on
your system every day. This is
one reason why Rheumatism is
usually a permanent disease, stay
ing with its victims year after year.
Getting rid of the disease is merely
a matter Of treating il intellieently.
Knowing that II cannot be cured
by external applications. il is folly
to rely upon such treatment.
S. S. S. is without question the
most thorough blood medicine ever

every imPurity and disease germ.

Cannot Be Rubbed Away With
Liniments.

You who are afflicted with this
most painful disease-who know
from experience just how excru-
ciatins its pangs are-set this
fact fixed firmly in your mind.
and it will aid you in finding
way to a complete recovery.
Rheumatism cannot be rubbed
away with liniments,-its pains and
panss cannot be wiped out as if
by magic. A disease that is so full
of torture and finally renders its
victims so helpless. is a deep-seated
one; it is not on the surface. hence
it cannot be reached by external,
surface remedies. This is no theory.
for your own experience doubtless
has shown you that you can never
expect to rid yourself Of the disease
in this way.
For the chances are that you.
like thousands of other sufferers,
have been misled into the hope
that liniments. lotions and other
applications would cure your rheu-
matism. But what has been your
experiencep The pains possibly
have been lessened for the time
being. but have they not promptly
returned. often with increased Sc
verify. and are you really any
nearer a cure than beforea You
certainly are not. and you never
will be as long as you rely upon
treatment that at best is merely a
makeshift.

Mt. Vernon. Ohio. says of what
S. S. S. did for his rheumatism:
