BLOTOHES, ROUGH SKIN, PIN
PIES

These and all kindred affections are
caused by impure blood. A few weeks
use of DR.. Fenner's Blood and Liver Rem
edy and Nerve Tonic causes them to dis
appear, and completely rids the system Of
the impurities that produced them. The
complexion under its use acquires clear
aud and mellow appearance, the head be-
comes clear and the nerves strong. One
bottle will sometimes effect cure. Other
cases will require more. In all these cases,
as indeed, in all forms of blood diseases,
whether showing itself in eruptions on the
skin, billiousness in the eve and complex
ion. or scrofulous ulcers anywhere, a cure
is only question of time. 1t will result
if the remedy is persisted in. 1t is well to
use with it Dr. Fenner's Salt Rheum ONT
ment TO all eruptions and sores.
