Rheuma tism comes from an excess of uric acid in the blood. This acid circulating through the system acts as an irritant to the nerves, musclesand joints, and produces the inflammation and swelling, and sharp cutting pains char acteristic of the trouble. When the blood is overburdened with uric acid eit continually grows thinner and more acrid, and poorer in nourishing qualities. Then Rheumatism becomes chronic and not only a painful but a dan gerous disease. You can get rid of Rheumatism by purifying the blood with S. S. S. This vege table remedy goes into the circulation, neutralizes and removes the uric acid, a*i by building up the thin, sour blood, safely and surely cures the disease. S. S. S. makes rich, nourishing blood, which quiets excited nerves, eases the painful muscles and joints and filters out every particle of irritating uric acid from the system.
