the Mastery
Over Blood Trouble
No Matter How Disheartening
You Can Overcome 1t.

Blood disorders are quickly checked by
s. S. S., the famous blood purifier. 1t
rushes into the blood and in three min
utes has trayersed the entire circulation.
1t penetrates to where the blood is made,
it washes out those spots and places
where stagnation has settled, 1t cleanses
the membranes, drives irritation from
the joints, fills the blood stream with
antidotal influence and from head to foot
creates conditions that make for blood
health. There are people In every COM
munity who know this to be true. They
have used s. s. S. for severe forms Of
rheumatism, for indolent, liberated spots,
for eruptive skin diseases, for any and
all those bodily conditions caused by
blood loaded with impurities. Being a
pure product of Nature 1t can not hurt
the stomach and has therefore been the
refuge Of a host Of people misguided in
their dilemma by first flying to those
dangerous mercurial drugs which have
claimed SO many unfortunates II the
skin breaks out in rash, If boils or
other eruptions appear If there are blood
rlsings or any other indications of i'm
