Chronic ULCERS
INDICATE BAD BLOOD

Where the blood is pure any wound
or laceration of the flesh heals "by
first intention" This is true because
nature has provided a constituent to
the circulation known as Plasma,
which joins and holds the place to-
gether until the fibres and tissues can
permanently knit and Intervene.
Whenever the ulcer becomes chronic
it is because this healing quality of
the blood has been impaired by some
impurity in the circulation, and the
place remains open, injecting all sur
rounding flesh, until the character of
the circulation is changed. No sore
can heal where the blood is bad; be-
cause the morbid impurities on which
it thrives are constantly deposited
into it by the burdened circulation.
Cleanse the blood and the sore will
heal of its own accord, because then
its very source and foundation will
have been destroyed. S. S. S. cures
