RHEUMATISM Does not let go of you when you apply lotions or liniments to your aching joints or stiff muscles. It simply loosens its hold for a while. Why? Because to get rid of rheumatism you must correct the acid condition of the blood on which it depends. Rheumatism is as constitutional as scrofula; all that Is local about it is its effect—the inflammation and pain it causes. Take Hood’s Sarsaparilla and Pills— they correct the acid condition of the blood and the defects of digestion, ab sorption and elimination to which that condition is due. The cure is radical and permanent. Hood's Sarsaparilla and Pills are bet ter than any substitutes; Insist on hav ing Hood’s. GERMAN AMBASSADOR GETS THE “RED EAGLE” BERLIN.
