Rheumatism Back on the Job
With its Old-time Fury
No Let-T*p In Its Torture.
Pretty soon you will be reaching
for the liniment bottle again, for the
millions of little pain demons that
cause Rheumatism are on the war
path. Winter weather seems to awak
i en them to renewed fury.
But your Rheumatism cannot he
rubbed away, because liniments and
lotions cannot reach the disease, it
is in the blood, and only a remedy
that goes deep down into the circula
tion, and routs out the disease germs,
can rid you of this disabling disease.
S. S. S. has given some wonderful
results in treating Rheumatism. Be
ing a purely vegetable blood remedy,
it purilies the blood of every germ,
and thus removes the cause of Rheu
matism. Get a bottle to-day at your
drugstore, and start on the right
treatment that will get results. Free
advice about your case can be had by
writing to Medical Director, 26 Swift
Laboratory, Atlanta, Ga.’
