HOW TO CURE
POISON

Contagious Blood Poison is virus
lent germ, and like most other bacte-
rial organisms is very difficult to kill
or destroy within the system. It
would therefore be useless to endeavor
to cure the disease with some strong
medicine intended to destroy the dis
eased blood cells and virus. The
proper way--the only way-is to
REMOVE the germs and poisons from
the blood by purifying the circulation.
Thousands have cured themselves Of
this powerful disease by the use of
S. S. S., the greatest of all vegetable
blood purifiers. This is a medicine
OF unquestioned ability in the treat
1nent OF Contagious Blood Poison.
For more than forty years 1t has been
prepared and sold as cure for this
trouble, and not only its efficacy, but
the fact that it does not contain par
ticle Of mineral, or other harmful
drug, should be an inducement to any
Contagious Blood Poison sufferer to
begin its use. S S. s.. goes right
down into the circulation, and re-
moves every trace of the destructive
virus. 1t heals all sores, stops falling
hair, and by cleansing and enriching
the blood, soon clears the. body of
every symptom. S. S. S. cures to
stay cured; there Is no future breaking
out of the disease. Home Treatment
book and any medical advice free.
S. SIS. is sold at drug stores.
