 Mir. II. T. Shobe, 27o4 Lucas Avenue, st. Louis, Mo, says: My daughter was afflicted for years with dishguring 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 inc 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 sign of the embarrassing disease has ever returned"
 S. s. S. is positive, unfailing cure for the worst forms of skin troubles. It is the greatest of all blood purifiers, and the only one guaranteed purely vegetable.
 Bad blood makes bad complexions.
