a MILD CASE ::

OF Contagious Blood Poison never exiS-
ted. 1t is always bad, though sometimes
no external symptoms of the disease APP
pear for a long time.
Because the disease is slow in devel-
oping does not indicate that the case is
g mild one, for the poisonous virus at
work III the blood and system may be
spending its force upon some internal
vital organ while you are looking for ex-
ternal signs. Contagious Blood Poison
does not affect all alike. In most cases
the first little sore is quickly followed by
painful swellings in the groins, a red
eruption upon the body, sores or ulcers
in the mouth and throat, unsightly copper
colored blotches, loss of hair and eye
brows and other symptoms of this lniser-
able disease. When the poison IS thus
fighting its way TO the surface, exposing
the disease.in all its hideousness, we call
it bad case; but Contagious Blood Poi
son, whether working internally or exter-
nally, is dangerous, treacherous disease.
S. S. S. is the only remedy that cures
Contagious Blood Poison thoroughly and
permanently. 1t IS an antidote for the
deadly virus that produces the awful
eruptions, sores and ulcers, and destroys
the bones. Mercury and Potash dry up
the skin eruptions, but in so doing drive
the poison further into the system, where
it SAUNDERS for time, but comes back
again with redoubled fury.
s. S. S. IS a vegetable remedy that has
been used successfully for years in treat
