How To Get Relief
From Rheumatism
Scientists Agree That the Cause /,
Due to Waste Products In
the Blood.

The blood is the means by which
all tissues. muscles. ligaments and
flesh of the body are directly or
indirectly nourishcd. 1t is also
through the blood stream that worn
out tissues and waste products are
cast out Of the system.
When waste products accumulate,
they are a menace to life. They
cause Il lowered vitality. many skin
disorders and rheumatism. Genuine
relief from the agonies of rheuma-
tism can be had only by correcting
the basic trouble-waste products.
Thousands and thousands of men
and women during the past so years
have cleared their blood of waste
products with S. S. s. 1t is the ideal
Icmcdy for rheumatism. because it
removes the poisonous waste mat
ter which is causing the trouble.
There are no bad after effects and
the result is wonderful. Begin TAX

The physician Is limited to the

nothing in the Federal prohibition

a pint in the case of whisky and
