You may have tried many things without relief. Why not try S.S.S.? For more than 100 years S.S.S. has been giving relief in thous ands of cases, as testified to in unsolicited letters of gratitude. "After suffering several years, six bottles of S.S-S. completely relieved me of rheumatism. It also cleared up a skin eruption and gave me a good appetite. I think S.S.S. is a wonderful med icine." R. L. Busic Southern Railway, Knoxville, Tenn. "I was very nervous, had hardly any appetite, and suiTercd with rheumatism. I tried many medicii-.es, tut S.S.S. is the one that did me the most good. I am now well, and feel like a new man." William Osborne, 2406 Sloan Street, Flint, Michigan. S.S.S. is extracted from the fresh roots of medicinal plants and herbs and gives toXature what she needs in building you up so that your system throws o:T the cause.
