Beware
OF Mercury!

Whenever a doctor is called upon to
treat a blood disease, the result nine
times out of ten is that the treatment
is worse than the disease, and in a
short while the patient finds his
condition far worse than it was at first.
The reason of this is that notwith-
standing the great progress made in
surgery, and in some branches of med
icine, the doctors have failed absolute
~ to discover a cure for blood diseases.
Whether in the form of pill. powder or
liquid, their treatment is always the
same potash and mercury which
temporarily dry up the poison in the
system and no sooner has it taken on
the full effects of these powerful drugs,
than that suppleness and elasticity of
the joints give way to q stiffness, fol-
lowed by the racking pains of rheu-
matistn. Then follows loss of hair
and finger nails. and even decay of the
bones-a condition most horrible.
Mr.. Henry Roth. of 184S South Ninth
street, st. Louis, Mo-, was victim of
contagious blood poison-that worst
form of blood disease, which has always
baf1led the doctors. He was treated
by physician, and in due time pro
