purifying the blood? This is Just
what S. S. S. does. 1t is the greatest
of all blood purifiers, and the only
medicine that absolutely and thor
oughly cleanses the circulation of
every particle of the germs and virus
of Contagious Blood Poison. Med
icines composed wholly or in part of
mercury, potash or other minerals
are often used by despairing suffer
ers in the hope that such strong
treatment will kill the poison. But
this cannot be done; the disease may
be checked and the symptoms i'm
proved, but in every case the old
poison is slumbering in the system
and when the treatment is left off
the disease returns.
We claim for S. S. S. that it is
perfect blood purifier, and because of
this fact it cures this greatest of all
blood diseases. 1t goes into the cir
culation and removes every trace of
the poison, makes the blood pure
and healthy, and leaves no dregs of
the disease TO break out later on.
