Mr.. H. Kuhn. of Marion, Kansas;
writes:
About three years ago my grand
daughter Bertha Wildwood, was
thrown from a horse, receiving a
wound of the scalp. Under the treat
ment of physicians the wound seemed
obstinate, and for several months re-
NAMED about the same, until 1t finally
became very angry looking, and broke
out into a running sore. This soon
spread to other parts of the scalp, and
ran down the side of the neck, in
creasing in severity, and fearfully
dishguring her.
After being constantly under a
physician for year, and her condi-
ton a great deal worse than at first,
we placed her under the care of the
faculty of a wellknown hospital, but
even the treatment she received there
failed to arrest the terrible sore.
Reading of the many cures OF
blood troubles effected by S. S. s., we
decided to try it, and it relieved her
promptly. At first this remedy seemed
TO increase the discharge, forcing out
the poison; this soon ceased altogether,
and the place began to heal. In a
few months she was entirely cured,
and scarcely a mark now remains
where the disease hold full sway"
s. s. S. is the right remedy for all
blood diseases, and is the only cure
for Contagious Blood Poison. Scrofula.

tarrh, etc., no matter how deep-seated

Thrown
From a Horse

1t matters not from what cause the
blood becomes poisoned, it is impossi-
bic for the doctors to effect a cure.
This class of disease has puzzled the
science of medicine for ages, and the
same treatment that was employed
centuries ago is now prescribed. Pot
ash and mercury are the component
parts Of every doctors prescription
for diseases of the blood.
Many of the so-called blood puri-
hers are based on potash and mercury.
In fact, s. 8. s. (Swift's Specific) is
the only blood remedy that is guar
anteed purely vegetable, and is the
only one that contains no harmful
ingredients. 9. 9. sis the only blood
remedy that cures real blood diseases,
obstinate cases that physicians and
other remedies have failed to cure.
II never fails to cure blood disease
no matter how deep-seated the case.
