BLOOD TROUBLES
CONSTITUTIONAL INFECTION

Constitutional Blood Poison is the
most insidious Of all diseases. It
begins II an insignificant manner.
usually the appearance of tiny sore
being the only outward evidence of
its presence But down IN the blood
the treacheTous infection is at work.
and IN a short time its chain OF
symptoms begin to crop out. The
mouth and throat ulceraIe. skin
eruptions break out, sores and ulcers
appear on the body, the glands in
the groin swell, and sometimes the
hair comes out. Mineral medicines
cannot cure Constitutional Blood
Poison; they only shut the disease

await an opportunity of breaking
out afresh. The only possible way
to cure the disease is to REMOVE
