IMPURE BLOOD.
The Ills That Accompany Il are Legion
The Sufferer Eventually Becomes =
Loathsome Sight. with Dsath the Only
Escape From Pain.

Let diseased condition Of the blood once
exist, and unless it is stopped it Will from day
to day grow and spread. The disease germs
in the blood multiply rapidly and impregnate
the tissues throughout the entire body, creating
ulcers and other horrible sores. Iie patient
grows weaker and weaker. Every one OF the
great vital organs Of the body become affected,
and death is looked upon as u blessing. DO
not let such troubles go too far; before 1t IS
too late take that most famous OF blood puri-
fers, kickapoo Indian Sagwa. II quickly
enrches and purfies this great vital principle
OF the body and at the same time acting directly
on the stomach, liver and kidneys, dispellrg all
lurking poisons. Thousands have been cured,
and to-day sing its praise.
One of the many who have experienced relief
is Amos Lord, OF Conway, Iowa. He says,
81 suffered from Chronic blood affection for
20 years. In September, 80, had an operation
performed on my foot, but the poison still
remained and went through my entire system,
and placed me in such condition could no!
sleep nights OF account OF the hot, burning
fushes all over me. l lost the use of my limb.
NY FLYER and kidneys became badly affected,
and my general health SO reduced that gave
up trying to live. Took over twenty bottles Of
certain Sarsaparifas with no relief. At last /
concluded to give kickapoo Indian Sagwa a
trial, and am happy to state that after using
it l experienced great improvement. My
liver and kidneys became normal, my limbs
began 10 gain strength, so that now l can walk
without crutches, and my health is good for a
man of my age, being over 10 years old.
cieerfnlly recommend Sagwa to anyone afflicted
with kidney and liver troubles. | think ii is
the greatest blood purifier | ever used
