How 70 Hsl Rsllsi

Scientists Agree That the Cause
Is 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 nourished. 1t is also
thru the blood stream that worn-out tissues
and waste products are cast out ofthe system.
When waste products accumulate, they are

rheumatism can be had only by correcting
the basic trouble-icaSfe products.
Thousands and thousands of men and
women during the past SO years have cleared
their blood of waste products with S. s., 5.
1t is the ideal remedy for rheumatism, be-
cause it removes the poisonous waste matter

This movement is obtaining great
Roadway in a number of the states,

Many of the Aeries over the coun-

The national commission on old

in the spring.

One sheepman, related to Mr..
