Bottled Up!

It certainly is disheartening to a pa
tent to find that the treatment he is
given for a disease is more disastrous
than the disease itself. Such is the
case, however, with the usual treat
ment given for diseases Of the blood.
Notwithstanding the great progress
made in many branches of medicine
the doctors have failed absolutely to
find a successful treatment for blood
poison, and the many diseases having
their origin in the blood. They give
but one kind of medicine, they know
but one treatment, and whether in
the form of powder, pill or liquid, the
Doctors prescription is always the
same-potash or mercury.
Too much cannot be said Of the harm
fu1 and disastrous effects of these drugs.
The doctors are unable to rid the sys-
tenn of the poison, and direct their
efforts toward covering up the symp-
toms from view. There is but one eff
feet to be obtained from potash and
mercury-they bottle up the poison
and dry it up in the system but 1t
must be remembered that they dry mp
the marrow in the bones at the same
time, gradually consuming the vital
ity. Those disfiguring copper-colored
sp1otches are but indications OF worse
results to follow. No sooner has the
system taken on the full effects Of this
powerful drug than that supP1eness
and elasticity of the joints gives way
to a stiffness, followed by the racking
pains of rheumatism. The form grad

crepitude and he1Plessness prena-

Under this treatment, it is but a short
step from vigOr and health to a pair
Of clutches. With this wreck OF the

most horrible. This is no Overdrawn
picture, for the world to-day is full of
these hcbb1iug unercuria1 wrecks.
Contagious Blood Poison is the most
horrible of all diseases, and has been
appropriately called the curse of man
kind. Until the discovery of S. S. S.,
it was iucura'b1e. It has always BAT
fed the doctors, and 1t is in this dis
ease that the evils of mercury and
potash are most common, because
these drugs are given in such large
doses in an effort to counteract the
poison. While they succeed in bottling
up the poison in the system, 1t always
breaks forth again, attacking some
delicate organ, frequently the mouth
and throat, filling them with eating
sores. S. S. S. is the only known cure
for this terrible disease.
1t is the same in other diseases Of
the blood. Scrofu1a, Eczema, Cancer,
Rheumatism, all are given the same
treatment by the hysIclaus-r11ercury

We offer a remedy purely vegetable,
powerful in its effect, yet harmless in
every way. For fifty years S. S. S.
has been curing blood diseases, from
the most violent to the rnildest case,
after all other treatment failed. 1t is
guaranteed purely vegetable, and one
thousand dollars reward is offered for
proof to the contrary. It is a real
blood remedy for real blood troubles,
and never fails to cure Contagious
