THE MOST POWERFUL VEGETABLE Alternative
YIEI DISCOVERED.


"TlIs life Of the hOsh Ia In tho Blood" 10 u
sChptural maxim that science proves to be true
The people talk Of bad blood, as tho cause Of
many diseases, and like many popular opinions
this Of bad blood Is founded In truth.
The symptoms OF bad blood arc usually quite
pIAin-bad DIgeStIon-causeS imperfect nutrl'
ton, and consequently the circulation Is feeble,
tho Soi tissues lose their tone and elasticity and
the tongue becomes pale, broad, and frequently
covered with paSty, while coat. This condl.
ton soon shows itself In TOughHGES Of tho akin,
thSn In ERUrTIYE and LUCRATIVE diseases, and
when long continued results In serious LESSONS Of
the Brain, Liver, Lungs, or urinary apparatus.
Much, very much, suffering 10 caused by impure
blood. 1t Ia estimated by some that Onc.afth Of
the human family are affected with scrohIla In
some form.
When the Blood Is pure, you Arc not 80 liable
to any disease. Many impurities Of the Blood
arise from impure diseases Of large cities. EradI.
cate every impurlty from the fountain Of life, and
good spirits. Calr skin and vital strength will rc-
turn to you.
