PURIFY Your BLOOD.

Impurities in the blood produce diseases.
Bodily and mental health depend upon a
healthy condition Of the blood. The blood.
particularly in the spring and during the hot
summer months, becomes clogged with i'm.
purities, which poison it and generate dis
ease. A harmless blood purifier, without a
particle of mineral poison in it, such as mer-
curry or potash, is necessary to remove these
impurities and to restore the healthy tone of
mind and body. The best purifier and tonic
known to the world is Swift's Specific (s.S.SA
