Get Rm of 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
not get rid of the disease, because it does not reach its source. Rheuma
tism comes from an excess of uric acid in the blood. This acid circulating
through the sj stem acts as an irritant to the nerves, muscles and joints,
and produces the inflammation and swelling, and sharp cutting pains char
acteristic of the trouble. When the blood is overburdened with uric acid
e it 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, and 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. Book on Rheumatism and any medical advice free to all
who write - THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.
