HOW TO TREAT
SORES

The proper way-the only success
full way-to treat an old sore is to
destroy its source. Not by dangerous
surgical operations or irritating
"drawing plasters, but by Natures
true method of purifying the blood
and filling the circulation with rich.
nourishing properties; then the
cure will be natural and lasting. We
can easily understand how impurities
in the blood will infect some weak
point on our bodies, and by contin-
ually discharging impurities into it
keep the place open and inf1amed
until a chronic ulcer is formed.
Nothing then is so sure to produce a
cure of these old sores as S. S. S.
This medicine is Natures perfect
blood remedy, composed of the most
healing and at the same time the
most penetrating and blood-purifying
properties. 1t removes every particle
of impurity or morbid matter from the
circulation, and assists nature in the
increasing of healthful, nutritious
corpuscles in the blood. S. S. S.
makes pure blood and pure blood Is
Natures unfailing cure for old sores.
We want every sufferer with an old
sore to commence the use of S. S. S.,
because we know it is the remedy
they most need. Book on Sores and
Ulcers and medical advice free to all.
