NATURES CURE FOR
CHRONIC ULCERS

Only by removing the cause can
any chronic Ulcer or Old Sore be
cured. No one will question the
truthfulness of this statement. The
causeis always from an inward source,
never an outward influence, and there
fore the only possible way to get rid
OF these places is to take internal
treatment. Pure blood is the one
unfailing cure for chronic ulcers;
Just as long as the circulation is al
lowed to remain in an impure cordi-
ton the place will be kept open from
the constant discharge of impurities
into it from the blood. But pure
blood Will change this condition and
the flesh tissues will be nourished
and made healthy, /; nd then nature
will promptly and permanently heal
the ulcer. S. S. S. is recognized as
the greatest of all blood purifiers and
therein lies its power to cure old
ulcers and sores. 1t goes into the
circulation, and removes every trace
of impurity or infectious matter. and
so enriches this vital fluid that it
nourishes all flesh tissues instead of
irritating them with impurities.
When S. S. S. has cleansed the blood
and the place has healed over il is
not a surface cure, but the ulcer is
filled in with healthy flesh from the
bottom. Free book and any medical
advice will be sent to all sufferers who
will write us. S. S. S. is for sale at
drug stores.
