Poison Oak,

Last Sunday, while at Mr.. T. F.
Hudson, the great hay and carp
man, who is perhaps better known
than any farmer in the State, we no.
ticed that his son, Dewitt, seemed
to be SHINING off at his hands. Mr..
Hudson called the little fellow to him
and showed us how the skin, even on
the palms of his hands, was coming
off in flakes and new skin appear
ing underneath. lie explained that
several years ago the child was bad
ly poisoned with poison oak, and ev-
cry spring he broke out and suffered
greatly. lie had applied every known
remedy to relieve the sufferer, and
employed physicians to attend him,
but with no avail. Tn fact" Mr..
Hudson continued, at seemed like to
go in sight of poison oak vine
would cause the eruptions to break
out afresh. After trying everything
else, / read in the Banner Waterman
so much about the S. S. S. blood
medicine that l deter mined to try
that also, but must confess that l had
but little hope in it. But, as you see,
its success has been wonderful. 1t
has driven every particle of the pois-
on from my child's system, and is
now putting new skin OH him. lie
is thoroughly cured, and the s. S. S.
did the good work. believe that it
will drive out any kind of poison
from the blood, and its effect on
Dewitt proves it. There are a great
many sufferers from poison oak in
the country, and to such can know
ingly recommend this great medi-
cine. 1t not only effects a certain
cure, but seems to put fresh life into
one"
This is only one of the numerous
Endorsements of S. S. S. that has
reached us, and we publish it as in
formation to those who are suffering
with poison in their system, it mat
tiers not from what source it comes.
This discovery in regard to curing
the effects of poison oak is of great
importance, as it gives a certain rem
edy for a most common and aggrava-
ting afiliction, which no permanent
relief had ever been known. The S.
S. S. is certainly the king of blood
medicine, and is as harmless as it is
