Yell Defiance
at Blood Disorders
A Remedy That Has Shown Most
Remarkable Purifying
Effect.


| The word medicine is one of the
most abused in our language. There
are certain medicinal properties just
as necessary to health as the food we
eat Take. for example, the we'll
known tonic medicine S. S. S. This
famous blood purifier Contains medic
inal components just as vital and
essential to healthy blood as the ele-
ments or wheat, roast beef, the fats
and the sugars that make UP our daily
ration.
As matter of fact, there is one
! ingredient in S. S. S. which serves the
active purpose of stimulating each
cellular part of the body to the healthy
and judicious selection of its own
essential nutriment That is why it
Iregenerates the blood supply; why il
has such tremendous influence in
overcoming eczema, rash, pimples, and
all skin Affections.
And in regenerating the tissues
S. S. s. has a rapid and positive anti
dotal effect upon all those irritating
influences that cause rheumatism, sore
throat, weak eyes, falling hair, loss of
weight, thin, pale cheeks and that
generally experienced as spring fever.
Get a bottle of S. s. s. at any drug
store, and in a few days you will not
only feel bright and energetic, but
you will be the picture of new life.
