Get Rid Os Rheumatism Rubbing with liniments, blistering the affected parts, the application of plasters, and other means of external treatment, are usually helpful in relieving the pains and aches of Rheumatism. But such treatment does net get rid of the disease, because it does not reach its source. Rheuma tism conies 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 it continually grows thinner and more acrid, and XlOwfoh, poorer in nourishing qualities. Then Rheumatism becomes chronic and not only a painful but a dan- I y^”*""”** I*** 1 *** gerous disease. You can get rid of Rheumatism / Iby purifying the blood with S. S. S. This vege- •?
