HEREDITARY BLOOD POISON

Scrofu1a is a disease manifested
usually by swelling and liberation
of the glands, especially about the
neck. It is almost entirely hereditary
iii its origin, being the dregs or re-
mains of some specific blood poison.
Where the blood is greatly weakened
with the scrofulous poison, the disease
attacks other portions OF the system
besides the glands, and then we see its
effects in weak eyes, poorly developed
bodies, running sores and ulcers, skin
diseases, especially on the scalp, ca
tarrhal troubles, etc. Scrofula usually
makes its appearance in childhood,
though manhood or wornanhood may
be reached before the poison pro-
crosses to the stage OF outward mani
festation. S. S. S. is the one real cure
| for Scrofula. 1T is blood purifier
without an equal, and it cures this
