Inherited
Blood Taint,

Here is case of inherited blood faint
which resulted in what threatened to be
a complete wreck o. an innocent young
life. The most serious feature of being
afflicted with blood disease is the fact
that innocent posterity must suffer. The
man or woman with the slightest faint
in the blood forces the undesirable leg
acy of impurity upon their children
whose veins flow with the impure inner
itance which handicaps them in the race
of life.
No child who has trace of bad blood
can be healthy or strong, and those pre-
disposed to Scrofula are liable to great
deal of sickness, because their constitu-
lions are weak and cannot withstand the
many dangers which beset the path of
childhood. Medical statistics show that
majority of lung troubles result directly
from Scrofu1a, so that child afflicted
with this disease is likely to fall vic
tim to dreaded consumption.
Mr.. W. A. Clayton, of Addie, N. c.,
believes SIS. is the only blood remedy
which can have any effect whatever
upon obstinate cases. He says:
"My three-year-old boy had the worst
case of Scrofula I ever heard of. He

DEATH FROM HEART DISEASE.

was given many blood remedies without
relief, and treated by the best doctors.
He seemed to get worse all the while,
however, and the disease finally resulted
in curvature of the spine, making him
utterly helpless.
"The bad sores on his neck increased
in size. and were a source of constant
pain. He was in this pitifu1 condition
for two years, when some one recon-
mended S.S.S., stating that it had cured
some of the worst cases of blood diseases.
AS soon as his system was under the eff
feet of the medicine, the sores began to
get better, and in eight days were COM
pletely healed. Before long he could
walk on clutches, and was improving
every day. In three months he threw
aside his clutches, for he had no further
use for them; the dreadful disease had
been eliminated entirely from his sys-
tenn, and he was restored to perfect
health. The cure was permanent one,
as no sign of the disease has returned
for ten years."
S.S.S. is a real blood remedy, and
promptly reaches all deep-seated and
obstinate blood diseases, it matters not
what other treatment has failed. It is
the only remedy which acts on the cor
rect principle Of forcing the disease from
the system and getting rid of it perma-
nently.
S. S. S. is a sure cure for Scrofula,
Cancer, Catarrh, Eczema, Rheumatism,
letter, and all other blood diseases. It is
