They are the weapons that have been used for generations to fight old Rheumatism, and are about as effective in the battle with this giant disease us the blunderbuss of our forefathers would be in modern warfare. Rheumatism is caused bv an acid, sour condition ol the blood. It is filled with acrid, irritating matter that settle m the joints, muscles and nerves, and liniments and oils nor nothtnff else applied externally can dislodge these gritty, corroding particles They were deposited there by the blood and can be reached only through the blood. Rubbing with liniments sometimes relieve temporarily the aches and pains, but these are only symptoms which are liable to return with every change of the weather j the real disease lies deeper, the blood and system are infected. Rheuuiatiam cannot be radically and permanently cured until the blood has been purified, and no remedy does this so thoroughly and promptly as S. S. S. It neutralizes the acids and sends a stream exhilarating' tonic. Our physicians wnieaooui meir case, ana we wui tend and its treatment THE th o erators think they will soon have It tinder control.
