O POISON.

Three years ago I contracted a blood poison. ap-
piled to a physician at once and his treatment came
near killing me. l employed an old physician and
then went TO KY. | then went to Hot Springs and re-
manned two months, but nothing seemed to cure MT
permanently, although temporary relief was given me.
My condition grew desperate and | applied to a noted
quack, but I did not improve. / then used a prepara-
ton that was prescribed "gratis,' but 1t contained too
much alcohol and aggravated my sufferings. ] then
placed myself under the treatment of a noted Nash
Vile physician and for n time was benefited, but by
fall | returned home p ruined man physically and
financially, with but little prospects Of ever getting
well. My money being exhausted, l did not know
what to do. In May, 1885, my mother persuaded me
10 get a bottle of B. b. B. (made in AtIanta) and l did
so to crafty her, but to my utter establishment | had
not finished the first bottle before every ulcer had been
healed.
To the present time I have used five bottles and
have received more benefit than from all the rest
combined; and | am satisfied that B. B. B. Is the most
wonderful blood purifier ever before known, and ]
urge all afflicted young men TO try one single bottle
and be convinced. l can truly say I think It the
best medicine In the world.
