the blood and system before a pain is felt Some
inherit a_ strong predisposition or tendency ; it is born in them ; but whether heredity is
back of it or it comes from imprudent and careless ways of living, it is the same always
and at all seasons. The real cause of Rheumatism is a polluted, sour and acid condition
of the blood, and as it flows through the body deposits a gritty, irritating substance
or sediment in the muscles, joints and nerves, and it is these that produce the terri-'
ble pains, inflammation and swelling and the misery and torture of Rheumatism. No
other disease causes sucri pain, such wide-spread
suffering. It deforms and cripples its thousands,
leaving them helpless invalids aud nervous wrecks.
When neglected or improperly treated, Rheuma?
tism becomes chronic, the pains are wandering or
shifting from one place to another, sometimes sharp
and cutting, again dull and aggravating. The mus?
cles of the neck, shoulders and back, the joints of the knees,~ ankles " and wrists, are
most often the seat of pain. Countless liniments and plasters are applied to get relief,
hut such tilings do not reach the poisoned blood; their effect is only temporary; they are
neither curative nor preventive. The blood must be purified, and all irritating matter re?
moved from the circulation before permanent relief and a thorough cure is effected, and no
remedy does this so certainly and so quickly as S. S. S. It contains not only purifying
and tonic properties, but solvent qualities as well, all these being necessary in eradicating the
poison and making a complete and lasting cure of Rheumatism. S.- S. S. cleanses the
blood of all irritating matter and the acid particles are
dissolved and filtered out of the system, thus relieving
the muscles and joints and removing all danger of future
attacks. Under its tonic effect the nervous system re
gains its normal tone and the appetite and digestion im?
prove, resulting in the upbuilding of the general health.
S. S. S. contains no Potash or minerals of any descrip?
tion, but is guaranteed purely vegetable. Old people
will find it not only the best -blood purifier, but a most invigorating tonic?just such a remedy
as they need to enrich the blood and quicken the circulation.
Whether you have Rheumatism in the acute or chronic stage, the treatment must be
internal, deep and thorough in order^to be lasting. Never be satisfied with anything less
than an absolutely perfect cure. 'This you can get by the use of S. S. S., the Oldest
and best purifier and greatest of ail tonics.
