SORES AND

Sores and Ulcers never become chronic
unless the blood Is in poor condition
sluggish, weak and unable to throw on
the poisons that accumulate in 1t. Inc
system must be relieved of the unhealthy
matter through the sore, and great danger
TO life would follow should it heal before
the blood has been made pure and healthy
and all impurities eliminated from the sys-
TEN. S.S.S. begins the cure by first cleans
ing and invigorsting the blood, building
up the general health and removing from
the system a CONSTANT DRAIN
s s1s m rnat,sr UPON TIE SNSTEM.
When this has been accomplished the dis
charge gradually ceases, and the sore OF
ulcer heals. 1t is the tendency of these old
indolent sores to grow worse and worse,
and eventually to destroy the bones. Local
applications, while soothing and 10 some
extent alleviate pain, cannot reach the seat
of the trouble. S. S. S. does, and no matter
how apparently hopeless your condition,
even though YOU. constitution has broken

necessary to heal the sore and nourish

she turned around to 20 down the steps
and the defendants dog-a large St.

fendant. Mr.. Herman, also testified that

ments to have the dog killed, she, the

"It would give the Harrington section
