Death u. the blood.


Yes, 1T is in tho blood that the seeds
of disease and death are engendered.
Attack them there with that rnightiest
of all detergents, JohnstOn's SarsaPar-
ALA, aud you are safe. No matter what
the complaint-whether Scrofnla, Ery-
sipelas, Salt Rheum, Liver Diseases,
it is through tho blood, and the blood
alone, that the existing cause caa be
reached. Tis great anti-pOison neu-
trAlizes the acrid matter in the veins
from which the most terrible disorders
spring, and by which they are fed and
aggravated. 1t strikes at the hydra
coiied in the venous system, and ex-
terminates it as surely and as swiftly
as Hercules destroyed the hundred!
headed serpent Of which mortal dis
tsmpsrs are the antitype. Bear tt 3 In
mind, all who suffer.
