BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin Is the seat of an almost end
less variety of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations of
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per-
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
disfguring pimples.
Eternal vigilance - ire price

when such remedies are relied on.
Mr.. H. r. Shobe, 27o4 Lucas Avenue, st. Louis,
Mo, says my daughter was afflicted for years
with disfguring eruption on her face, which
resisted all treatment. She was taken to two
celebrated health springs but received no bene-
fit. Many medicines were prescribed but with
out result until we decided to try S. s. s., and by
the time the first bottle as finished the eruption
began to disappear. A dozen bottles cured her
completely and left her skin perfectly Smooth.
She Is now seventeen years old, and not q sign OF
the embarrassing disease has ever returned"
S. S. S. is a positive, unfailing cure for
the worst forms of skin troubles. 1t is
the greatest of all blood purifiers, and the
only one guaranteed purely vegetable.
Bad blood makes bad complexions.

but there is such a thing as pushing
determination and self-condemna-
ton to the point of discouragement.
The best temper with which We can
enter upon the new year is that OF
faith, faith in God and faith in our
selves through His help. II is about
as certain as anything can be that the
new year will bring US new expert

endurance, our stsadiness of character
and power OF resistance is to be tested
At the end OF the year We are going

there will be narrowing opportunities
While We think OF the latter alterna-

are not going to fail and We have taken
a long step towards success. When
