WORLD FAMED
BLOOD MIXTURE
•
Trade Mark,—" Blood Mixture."
TME CREAT BLOOD PURIFIER & RESTORER
SKIN DISEASES, Eruptions, Blotches,
Ulcerated Sore Legs, Old Sores, Glandular
Swellings, Cancerous Ulcers, Spots, Pimples,
Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ringworms, Scald
Heads, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scuds,
Disoolorations of the Skin, Humours and
Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or
nature, are literally carried out of the system
in a short time by the use of this world-famed
Medicine.
THOUSANDS OF TESTIMONIALS FROM ALL PARTS.
IMPORTANT ADVICE TO ALL.—Cleanse
the vitiated blood whenever you find its im-
purities bursting through the skin in pimples,
eruptions, or sores ; cleanse it when you find
it obstructed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse
it when it is foul, and your feelings will tell
you when. Keep the blood pure, and the
health of the system will follow.
As this mixture is pleasant to the taste, and
warranted free from anything injurious to the
most delicate constitution of either sex, the
