The pains and aches of'Rheumatism may be temporarily relieved by the use of liniments, hot applications, and other external treatments, but the disease cannot be permanently benefited by such measures and is bound to become chronic and dangerous if such things are depended upon alone. S.S.S. cures Rheumatism in the only way it is possible to cure the disease. It goes down into the blood, and re? moves the uric acid from the circulation. When S.S.S. has cleansed and purified the blood the pains and aches cease, all inflammation dis? appears, and every symptom of Rheumatism passes away. Book on Rheumatism and medical advice free. S.
