CHRONIC SORES
Signs Of Polluted Blood.

There is nothing s. repudve looking and disgusting as an old sore.
You worryo over It'll till the brain grows weary and workw with 1t until the
patience is exhausted, and the very sight OF the old fostering, sckly looking
place makes you irritable, Respondent and desperate.
Achronic sore IS the very best evidence that your blood is in an unhealthy
and impoverished condition. that your constitution is breaking down under
the effects of some serious disorder. The taking of strong medicines, like
mercury n potash, will sometimes so polute and vtiate the blood and i'm
pair the general system that the merest scratch Or bruise results j obstinate
nonhealing sores Of the most offensive character.
Often an inheritedta amt breaks out in frghtful eating sores upon h limbs
or face in old age r. middle1 life. Whenever a sore refuses to heal the blood
is always at fault, and. while antseptc washes, salves, soaps and powders
can do much to keep down the inflammation and cleanse the sore, It will
never heal permanently till the blood itself has been purified and hedeadly
germs and poisons destroyed, and with S. S. S. this can be accomplished-the
- polluted blood is purified and invigorated, and when
IN rich, pure blood is again circulating freely throughout
~ the body the flesh around the old sore begins to take
o1ol0D on a natural color, the discharge of matter ceases
0OO and the place heals over.
S. S. S. is both a blood purifier and tonic that puts your blood in order
and at the same time tones up hesystem and builds up the general health.
If YOU have a chronic sore write us. No charge for medical advice.
