Gentlemen-I can cheerfully and truth
fully say that s. s. S. is the greatest blood
purifier on earth. In 1884 1 contracted
blood poison. Physicians treated me with
no good results. | took half dozen differ
ent kinds of blood medicines, but, without
receiving any permanent relief l was in
duced to try S. S. S. l began the first
bottle with the gravest doubts of success.
l had been so often deceived. But I'M
provement came, and 1 continued its use
until perfectly well. l have since married,
and have healthy family. No trace of the
disease is seen. Swift's Specific did all
this for me, and l am grateful. Yours
truly, J. S. STRADER.
