Contagious Blood Poison is at the bottom of great
many old blood troubles. The disease may have been
contracted years ago and treatment used that
moved the outward symptoms and shut the virus up in
the system to slumber in the blood but it only awaited
favorable opportunity to break out in some form again
Certain forms of catarrhal troubles, especially where
the bones affected scrofulous affections, healing
sores liberated membranes, ETC., due to this specific
poison Perhaps many who afflicted in this way
ignorant of the fact that the seeds of this mighty poison
are still hidden in the blood Like the deadly serpent
which is dangerous long the fantest spark of life is
etto enable to sink its poisonous fangs, this powerful
disease will corrupt and defle while the least particle of
its insidous virus remains in the blood.
