Tortured By
Rheumatism.
A Purely Vegetable Blood
Remedy is the Only
Cure.
If the people generally knew the
true cause of Rheumatism, there
would be no such thing as lini-'
ments and lotions for this painful
and disabling disease. The fact is,
Rheumatism is a disordered state
of the blood—it can be reached,;
therefore, only through the blood.
But all blood remedies can not cure
Rheumatism, for it is an obstinate
disease, one which requires a real
blood remedy— something more than
a mere tonic. Swift’s Specific is
the only real blood remedy, and it
promptly goes to the very bottom
of even the most obstinate case.
A few years ago I was taken with in
flammatory Rheumatism,which ,though
mild at first, became gradually so in
tense that I was for weeks unable to
walk. I tried several prominent physi
cians and took their treatment faith
fully, but was unable to get the slightest
relief. In fact, my condition seemed to
grow worse, the pains spread over my
entire body, and from November to
March I suffered agony. I tried many
patent medicines, but none relieved me.
Upon the advice of a friend I decided to
try S. S. S. Before allowing me to take
it, however, my guardian, who was a
chemist,analyzed the remedy, and pro
nounced it free of potash or mercury.

I felt bo much better after taking two
bottles, that I continued the remedy,
