Obstinate sores and ulcers, which
refuse to heal under ordinary treat
ment, soon become chronic and deep
seated, and lead to conditions most
serious. They are caused in different
ways, but in every case the blood is
involved, and no amount of local treat
ment can have any effect. The poison
must be eliminated from the blood
before a cure can be had.
