Gave Back
Ny Health.

There Is noreason for being respondent
and considering diseases Of the blood
incurable, simply because the treatment
Of physicians and many so-called blood
remedies fail to effect cure. Though
It 10 naturally disheartening to the suf-
ferer who faithfully takes the prescribed
treatment Of the physicians, often at the
expense Of hundreds Of dollars, to find
himself. no better as time goes
by, still q cure will result from the right
remedy, S.S.S., no matter what other
treatment has failed.
The reason that S.S.S. (Swift's Spe-
ci6c) has 90 successfully cured even the
worst cases after other treatment had
been tried in vain is that 1t Is the only
remedy which forces the poison from
the blood and permanently eliminates
1t from the system, which Is the only
correct principle Of curing the disease.
Mercurial remedies bottle up the poison
and tear down the system, while S.S.S.
forces out the poison and builds up and
adds strength and vigor to the entire
system. 1t is natures remedy, and con-
tains no harmful ingredient.
