Many are bent and deformed and physically disabled by tie awful misery and 'suffering inflicted npon them by this fearful scourge. "While the young, vig orous and strong are not always exempt, it seems that the old are the chief sufferers from Rheumatism, that it is a disease peculiar to old people and the plague of old age. One may be born with a strong predisposition or tendency to Rheumatism; it may run in your family; father or mother may transmit it to their children; but while the blood flows pure and strong through the veins and all the vital powers are in perfect con dition, Rheumatism rarely develops; but as we pass the meridian of life the digestion becomes impaired, liver and bowels slugferish. and the system clogged with poisonous matter; then the blood becomes polluted and tainted, too acid and sour, grumbling pains and frequent aches are felt in the muscles and joints, and before you realize it Rheumatism has you in its clutches. The disease may settle in the large muscles of the back, neck or thigh, the joints of the legs and arms, fingers and toes, or it may confine itself to no particular spot, the pains darting from one muscle to another, striking one joint to-day and another the next, with redoubled fury. It is an msiaious, sneaiang aisease. be constant or occasional; but the same causes, and comes from the same fountain source a too-acid blood and general disordered condition of the system. The pains and aches, throbbing muscles and swollen joints, are helped, by the application of plasters and the use of liniments and salves ; but these things do. not reach the hot, feverish blood nor touch the real cause of the disease, and for this reason only partial relief comes from their use. The treatment should be both internal and external. The riotous, acid blood mus be puri fied and brought back to a healthy, normal con dition, the accumulation of poisonous matter in the svstem checked, and vip-or and strenorth restored to the sluggish, torpid organs ; and while 803 East Greeabrier St . S. S. S. is doing this the simple home remedies, liniments and lotions, rubbing and blister ing, may be applied for the temporary relief they afford to the aching muscles and joints S. S. S. is & blood purifier and tonic combined j it makes the polluted blood rich and strong; it builds up the general health, improves the appetite and digestion, strengthens greater than ever in its history. S. S. S. for the blood is guaranteed purely vegetable If you have Rheumatism, a fair trial will convince you of its power over this painful dis ease, and you may yet spend a painless, healthy old age. Write us about your case, and our physicians will advise you without charge. We have a special book on Rheumatism which is mailed free to all wishing it. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC COMPANY, ATLANTA.
