Inherited
Blood / Taijnt,

Here is a case of inherited blood taint
which resulted III what threatened to be
q complete wreck of 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 taint
in the blood forces the undesirable leg
ICY of impurity upon their children
whose veins flow with the impure inner
tance 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-
tions 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 Scrofula, so that child afflicted
with this disease is likely to fall a vic
tim to dreaded consumption.
Mr.. w. A. Clayton, of Addie, N. c.,
believes S.S.S. 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 ever heard of. He
