There is uoreasop forbeing respondent

incurable, simply because the treatment
OF physicians and msuy so-called blood
remedies fail 10 effect a cure. Though
Il is naturally dishearteuiug 10 the suf-
tereT who faithfully takes the prescribed
treatment of the physicians. often at the
expense OF hundreds OF dollars, to find
himself, no better Is time goes
By, still 2 cure will result from the right
remedy, S.S.S., no matter what other
treatment has failed
The reason that SIS. (Swift's Spe-
cihc) has so successfully cured even the
worst cases after other treatment had
been tried in vain is that it 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.
hercurial remedies bottle up the poison
and tear down tie system, while S.S.S.
forces ont the poison and builds up and
adds strength and vigor 10 the entire
system. IL Is natures remedy, and CON-
tsins no harmful ingredient. -
