A CURE FOR
RHEUMATISM
Rheumatism i caused by an excess of uric acid in the blood, xvhicta is carried
through the circulation to all portions of the system. Every muscle, nerve, bone and
joint absorbs the acrid, pain-producing poison, causing aches, inflammation, stiffness
and other well known symptoms of the disease. Permanent relief from the pains an
discomfort of Rheumatism cannot be expected from the use of liniments, plasters, and
other external treatment which does not reach the blood, where the cause is located.
Such measures give temporary relief, but in order to cure Rheumatism the unc acid
and inflammatory poison must be expelled from the blood. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism
because it is a perfect blood purifier. It goes down into the circulation, neutralizes the
uric acid and drives it from the blood & & S. expels the irritating, inflammatory
matter which is causing the pain, swelling and other discomfort, enriches the weak,
sour blood, and permanently cures Rheumatism. In all forms of Rhenmatism S. S. S.
will be found a safe, vegetable remedy, possessing the properties needed to cure, and
at the same time a medicine that builds up the entire 6ystem by its .fine tonic effects.
