RHEUM A TISM
ALMOST AS COMMON IN SUMMER AS IN WINTER.
While the damp, cold, changing weather of
Winter intensifies the pains and other disagreeable
symptoms of Rheumatism, it is by no means a
winter disease exclusively. Through the long
months of Summer its wandering pains and twitch
ing nerves are felt by those in whose blood the uric
acid, which produces the disease, has accumulated.
Rheumatism is a disease that involves the en
tire system. Its primary cause results from the
failure of the eliminative organs, the Liver, Kid
neys and Bowels, to carry out of the system the
urea, or natural refuse matter. This coming in
contact with the different acids of the body forms
uric acid which is taken up and absorbed by the
blood. This acid- causes fermentation of the blood,
making it sour and unfit for properly nourishing
the body, and as this vital stream goes to every
nook and corner of the body, the poison is distrib
uted to all parts. The nervous system weakens
frofn lack of rich, pure blood, the skin becomes fe
verish and swollen, the stomach and digestion are
affected, the appetite fails and a general diseased
-condition of the entire system is the result.
Not only js Rheumatism the most painful of
all diseases, with its swollen, stiff joints, throbbing
muscles and stinging nerves, but it is a formidable
and dangerous trouble. If the uric acid is allowed '
to remain in the blood, and the disease becomes chronic, chalky deposits form at the joints,
and they are rendered immovable and stiff, and the patient left a helpless cripple for life.
Every day the poison remains in the system the disease gets a firmer hold. The best time
to get rid of Rheumatism is in warm weather; because then the blood takes on new life and
the skin is more active and can better assist in the elimination of the poisons. With the
proper remedy to force the acid out of the blood, and at the same time build up and
strengten the Liver, Kidneys, Bowels and other organs of the body, Rheumatism can be per
manently cured. Bxternal applications relieve the pain and temporarily reduce the inflam
mation, and for this reason are desirable, but they cannot have any effect on the disease.
The blood is poisoned and the blood must be treated before a cure can be effected.
S. S. S., a remedy made from roots, 'herbs and barks, is the best treatment for Rheuma
tism. It goes into the blood and attacks the disease at its head, and by neutralizing the acid
and driving it out, and building up the sour blood so it can supply nourishment and strength
to every part of the body, :l cures Rheumatism permanently. S. S. S. is the only safe cure
for the disease ; being purely . vegetable, it will not injure the system in the least, as do
those medicines which contain Potash or some other mineral ingredient. S. S. S. tones up
every part of the body by its fine tonic properties.
St While cleansing the blood of all poisons it builds up the
jH appetite and digestion, soothes the excited nerves, re-
j duces all inflammation, relieves pain and completely
ak cures Rheumatism in every form Muscular, Inflamma-
B tory, Articular or Sciatic. If you are worried with the
Hb nagghig pains of Rheumatism, do not wait for it to be-
N come chronic, but begin the use or fc. b. b. and purge
the blood of every particle of the poison. Write for our book on Rheumatism, and ask our
physicians for any advice you wish. We make no charge for either.

Last Hammer I had a severe attaok of Inflamma
tory Rheumatism in the knoos, from which I was
unable to leave my room for several months. X
was treated by two doctors and also tried differ
ent kinds of liniments ,and medicines whioh
soemed to.relieve me from pain for awhile, bnt at
the same time I was not any nearer getting well.
Ono day while reading a paper I saw an adver
tisement of S. S. S. for Rhenmatlsni. I decided
to give it a trial, which I did at once. After I had
taken throe bottles I felt a great deal better, and
I continued to take It regularly until I was en
tirely oured. I now feel better than I have for
years. OHAS. E. GILDERSLEEVE.

YOU can buy Health Insurance
now.
Several good "Accident"
Companies sell it.
Sixty dollars per year will bring you
$25.00 per week, for every week you aro
Sick.
But, your time alone may bo worth far
mora than that.
And $200 per week might not pay for
your suffering.
That's why "Cascaret" Insurance which
prevents Sickness, Is worth ten times as
much money as other " Health " Insur
ance. Yet "Cascaret Insurance' will cost you
less than Ten Cents a weeks
That gives you a "Vest Pocket" Box
lo carry constantly.
a
"Indigestion" means food eaten but
only partially digested.
"Constipation" means food retained In
the body undigested too long, till It decays.
It then supplies the poisons of decay
to the system, In place of the nourishment
it might have suppllod.
Isn't that a tremendous handicap worth
insuring against?
What does It cost to Cure Constipation
or Indigestion, with their train of small
and great Ills, and to Insure against a
return of them?
Not so very much.
Ono 10 cent box of Cascarejs per week,
at most, perhaps half that.
Ono candy tablet night and morning,
taken regularly for a short time, Is war
ranted to cure tho worst case of Constipa
tion or Indigestion that walks the earth,
a
One tablet taken whenover you suspect
you need It will Insure you against 90 per
cent flf all other ills likely to aUack you.
Because 90 per cent of the ilia begin
In the Bowels, or exist through poor
Nutrition.
Cascarets don't purge, don't weaken,
don't irritate, nor upset your stomach.
No, they act like Exercise on the
Bowels, Instead.
They stimulate the Bowel-Muscles to
contract and propel the Food naturally
past the little valves that mix Digestive
Juices with Food.
They strengthen these Bowel-Muscles
" by exercising them.
The time to take a Cascaret is the very
minute you suspect you need one.
When your tongue Is coated a little.
-When your breath is not above
suspicion.
When your head feels dull, dizzy, or
achy.
When you have eaten too heartily, or
too rapidly.
When you have drunk more than was
good for your digestion.
When you have a touch of Heart',
