G. P. A. Sou. Ry,. Atlanta, Ga. Every season has its own diseases, but Rheuma tism belongs to all, for when it gets well intrenched K A? in the system, and joints and muscles are saturated __ with the poison, the aches and pains are coming and going all the time, and it becomes an all-the-year- round disease; an attack coming as quickly from sud den chilling of the body when overheated, a fit of in digestion or exposure to the damp, Easterly winds of Summer as from the keen, cutting winds, freezing atmosphere and hitter cold of Winter. Rheumatism never comes by accident. It is in the blood and system before a pain is felt. Some inherit a strong predisposition or tendency j it is born in them { but whether heredity is back of it or it comes from imprudent and careless ways of living, it is the same always and at all seasons. Xhe real cause of Rheumatism is a polluted, sour and acid condition of the blood,. and as it flows through the body deposits a gritty, irritating substance or sediment in the muscles, joints and nerves, and it is these that produce the terri ble pains, inflammation and swelling and the misery and torture of Rheumatism. No other disease eauses such pain, such wide-spread suffering. It deforms and cripples its thousands, HIS WIFE A GREAT SUFFERER, leaving them helpless invalids and nervous wrecks.

The mus cles of the neck, shoulders and hack, the joints of the knees, ankles and wrists, are most often the seat of pain. Countless liniments and plasters are applied to get relief, but such things do not reach the poisoned blood; their effect is only temporary; they are neither curative nor preventive. The blood must he purified, and all irritating matter re moved from the circulation before permanent relief and a thorough cure is effected, and no remedy does this so certainly and so quickly as S. S. S. It contains not only purifying and tonic properties, hut solvent qualities as well, all these being necessary in eradicating the poison and making a complete and lasting cure of Rheumatism. S. S. S. cleanses the blood of all irritating matter and the acid particles are dissolved and filtered out of the system, thus relieving the muscles and joints and removing all danger of future attacks. Under its tonic effect the nervous system re gains its normal tone and the appetite and digestion im prove, resulting in the upbuilding of the general health. S. S. S. contains no Potash or minerals of any descrip tion, but is guaranteed purely vegetable. Old people will find it notonly the best blood purifier, but a most invigorating tonic—just such a remedy as they need to enrich the blood and quicken the circulation. Whether you have Rheumatism in the acute or chronic stage, the treatment must be internal, deep and thorough in order to be lasting. Never be satisfied with anything less than an absolutely perfect cure. This you can get by the use of S. S. S., the Oldest and best purifier and greatest of all tonics.
