A SMALL SORE CAME ON the

About the first Of February, 1890, I
noticed small lump on the inside of my
lower lip. 1t annoyed me considerably
the doctor cauterized it and in few DAYS
1t dropped off, but shortly after another
came and broke into an open sore, and in
spite of the large number OF remedies |
tried, it would not heal then went TO
another, and he gave me something to
put on the sore, saying if it did not cure
he would cut the sore out I used his
medicine, but received no benefit. de-
cided blood purifier was what needed,
and began to take S. S. $. The ulcer was
growing rapidly, with some pain and a
crawling, creeping feeling. At first S. S.
