I was afflicted with q terrible blood disease,
which was in spots at first, but afterwards
out into sores, and it is easy to imagine the
suffering I endured. Before I became con-
WINGED that the doctors could do no good, Ihad
spent a hundred dollars, which was really
thrown away. I then tried various patent med
icines, but they did not reach the disease.
When I had finished my first bottle Of s. S. 8.
Twas greatly improved and was delighted with
the result. The large red splotches on my chest
began to grow paler and smaller and before
hong disappeared entirely. Iregained my lost
weight, became stronger, and my appetite
greatly improved. I was soon entirely well,
and my skin as clear as q piece OF glass.
