clared to be unusually fine. Similar re-

Contagious blood poison is absolutely

may dose patient for years on their
mercurial and potash remedies. but he
will never be rid OF the dsease; on the
other hand, his condition will grow
steadily worse. S. 8. S. is the only cure
for this terrible affection, because It is
the only remedy which goes direct to
the cause OF tho disease and forces it
