MIR. Starin imposes are that the Fair be held
in this city, and that the other business interests

Inherited Blood Poison.

How many people there are whose
distress from sores, aches, pains and
eruptive tendencies are due to inherited
blood poison. Bad blood pas" es from
parent to child, and it therefore is the
duty of husband and wife to keep their
blood pure. This is easily accomplished
by a timely use of B. B. B. botanic
Blood Balm. Send to Blood Balm Co.,
Atlanta, for book of most convincing
proof.
James Hill, Atlanta, Ga, writes: My
two sons were afflicted with blood
poison, which doctors said was heredi-
tary. They both broke out in sores and
eruptions which B. B. B. promptly con-
troIled and finally cured completely. =

writes: My three poor afflicted chill

improved rapidly after use of B. B. B.
