Good Time Now
for Blood Health

A few doses Of that wonderful blood
purifier, S. S. s., will start activities in
the cellular tissues Of the body and
soon show decided changes in the skin.
The skin is but a fine network Of tiny
blood vessels, and the specific action Of
s. 6. S is declared to be a pronounced
stimulation of the activity of these
cells Certain II is that in a surpris-
ingly short time any skin eruption
shows a most remarkable change; 1t
begins to dry up; the skin scales OF
in tiny fecks, and soon a layer Of
clear, healthy and firm tissue results.
The reason for this is in the peculiar
stimulation of S. S. s., which enables
the cells in the skin to select from the
blood the nutriment 1t requires for
regeneration.
You can obtain S. s. s. at any well
Etocked drug store. II you insist upon
IT. but be sure you are not talked into
