CHRONIC SORES
Signs of Polluted Blood.

There Is nothing 50 repulsive looking and disgusting as an old sore.
You worry over it tin the brain grows weary and work with it until the
patenceis exhausted, and the very sighto OF the old fostering, sckly looking
place makes you irritable, respondent and desperate.
A chronic soreis 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 or potash, will sometimes SC pollute and vitate the blood and i'm
pair the general system that the merest scratch or bruise resultsin obstinate
non-healing sores of the most offensive character.
Often an nheritedt amt breaks OUT frightfule eating sores upon helimbs
or face in old age " middlelie. Whenever a sore refuses to heal the blood
always at fault, and, while antiseptic washes, salyes, 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 the deadly
germs and poisons destroyed, and with S.S S. this can be accomp1ished-the
