It you would forever be rid of the aches and pains, and some times the tortures produced by Rheumatism, you must take the right remedy. Those who con tinue to suffer are relying upon remedies which do not reach their trouble. The doctor’s treatment always consists of potash and mercury, which only intensify the disease, causing the joints to stiff en and the bones to ache, besides seriously impairing the digestive organs. Rheumatism is a disordered state of the blood, and the only cure for it is a real blood remedy. Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) goes down to the very bottom of al! ckseases of the blotxl, and promptly cures cases that other remedies can not reach. Mr. E. K. S. Clinkenbeord. a promi- j nent attorney of Mt. Sterling, Ky., writes: “Two-years ago J was a great sufferer' from Rheumatism. I had tried every 1 remedy I could hear of except S. S. S.
