Those who have ever felt its keen, catting pains, or iJStnessed the intense
suffering of others, know that Rheunuatism is torture/and that it is right
ly called “The King of Pain.”
All do not suffer alike. Some are suddenly seiz'/l with the mo^t excrucia
ting pains, and it seems every muscle and joint in the body was being torn
asunder. Others feel only occasional slight paigk for weeks or months, when
a sudden change in the weather or exposure/to damp, chilly winds or night
air brings on a fierce attack, lasting for d>(ys perhaps, and leaving the pa
tient with a weakened constitution or crippled and deformed for all time.
An acid, polluted condition of th» blood is the cause of every form and
variety of Rheumatism. Muscular, Articular, Acute, Chronic. Inflammatory
and Sciatic, and the blood nTdst be purged and purified before there is an
end to your aches and pains j External applications, the use of linimemtsand
plasters, do much towr;/d temporary relief, but such treatment does not reach
the real cause or cleanse the diseased blood ; but S. S. S., the greatest of all
blood purifiers arod tonics, doe-s cure Rheumatism by antidoting and neutraliz
ing the poisonous acids and building irp the weak and sluggish blood. It is
y . safe and reliable in all forms of Rheumatism. Itmakes
the old acid blood rich, and the pain-tf-rtured mus-

made strong, and the entire system is invigorated and
toned up by the use of this great vegetable remedy.

Think of
Your Teeth
Don’t wait until a dental bill re- S
minds you of mgleet. A clean
tooth might wear out, it cannot
decay. Many who look after their
teeth constantly fail in the selec
tion of a proper brush. A brush to
cleanse perfectly must have gen
uine bristles, just stiff enough,
long enough an so trimmed as to
reach every nook and cranny. We
pride ourselves on our line of toot b
brushes. They are honest, prac
tical ones. We look out for the
little ^points that mean much in
tooth saving. We don’t recom
mend the cheaper |brushes, but for
25 cents we can furnish the kind
that 'will endure and that will do
what they should while, they last.
