impure Blood
Gets Good Bath
Wonderful How Quickly
Your Entire System
Awakens When the
Blood is Cleansed.

If you are down with rheumatism; Il
you sneeze, feel chilled, are choked with
catarrh, have a cough, or your skin is
pimpled and irritated with rash, eczema,
or any other blood disorder, just remem-
Der that almost all the ills of life come
from impure blood. And you can easily
give your blood a good, thorough cleans
ing, a bath, by using S. S. S. There is
no need for anyone to be Respondent over
the illness of blood impurities. No mat
ter how badly they attack the system, or
how unsightly becomes the skin, just re-
member there is one ingredient in S. S. S.
that so stimulates the cellular tissues
throughout the body that each part Sc
lects its own essential nutriment from
the blood
This means that all decay. all breaking
down of the tissues, is checked and re-
pair work begins. S. S. S. has such
specific influence on all local cells as to
preserve their mutual welfare and afford
a proper relative assistance to each other.
More attention is being given to con-
structive medicine than ever before and
S. S. S. is the highest achievement in this
line. For many years people relied upon
| mercury, iodide of potash, arsenic, phys
| les, cathartics and dope" as remedies
| for blood sickness, but now the pure
botanical S. S. S. is their safeguard.
| You can get S. S. S. in any drug store,
| but insist upon having it. The great
Swift Laboratory in Atlanta, Ca, pre-
pares this famous blood purifier, and you
should take no chance by permitting any
| Dne to recommend a substitute.
| And If your blood condition is such that

EXPERIENCE
OF motherhood


The experience of Motherhood is try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or I'M
derstands how to properly care for her
SELF Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going Elindly to the trial
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

invigorator of the female organism
