In every city in America there are

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, but 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 tbe 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 aud digestion im

S. S. S. contains no Potash or minerals of any descrip

will find it not only 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 aud thorough in order to be lasting. Never be satisfied with anything l^ss
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.
