A Mild CASE

Of Contagious Blood Poison never exis-

does not affect all alike. In most cases
the first little sore is quickly followed by
painful swellings in the groins, 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 n1ser-
able disease. When the poison is thus
fighting its way to the surface, exposing

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 slumbers for time, but comes back
again with redoubled fury. ..... /.
