Some years ago while at work, I fell
over a truck and severely injured both
of my shins. My blood became poisoned
as a result, and the doctor told me
would have running sores for life, and
that if they were healed up the result
would be fatal. Under this discouraging
report left off their treatment and re-
sorted to the use of S. S. S. Its effects
were prompt and gratifying, 1t took
only a short while for the medicine to en-

years have elapsed since what have de-
scribed occurred. Having been so signally
benefited by its use can heartily recon-
mend it as the one great blood purifier.
