Remarkable Remedy That Drives Every Particle
Of Poison Completely Out Of Your
Entire System.


Blood troubles often become so deeply
rooted in the glands and interstices of the
tissues, that only q most searching remedy
will dslodge them. There are many rea,
sons why S. s. S. is this remedy. To be-
gin with the Ingredients of which S. s. s.
is composed are Of vegetable extraction.
For this reason they are readily passed
through the walls of both the stomach
and the intestines. Thus it goes directly
into the blood circulation and its action
is relatively the same as that Of the other
blood materials.
THIS Is IMPORTANT.
We derive all sustenance from our food
whether solids such as meats, grains, fats,
salts and sugars or in liquids, as the ele-
ments of oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen
combined, or in the free, or gaseous, state
as in the air we breathe. All of these va
rious food materials are converted into
substances which are selected from the
blood stream to make up the constructive
tissues and frame work of the body. And
as fast as they keep building up, just as
rapidly do all of these materials turn in
to body wastes to be eIcreted. But with
a goodly share of humans, these wastes
are not properly thrown out and they
thus remain
A PERIL to HEALTH.
Here is where S. S. S. enters to assist
the blood stream to more adequately per-
form the function of supplying pure
blood in the arteries and carrying of the
waste material through the veins. Ma
turally an assimia BILE remedy, S. s. s. not
only has a prompt medicinal effect, but
unlike food, it is not changed, it is not
converted by the liver, it is not burned up
in the lungs or tissues BY oxidation. On
the contrary, it continues to circulate in
the myriad Of cells in the intertices Of
the tissues until it gradually works its
vsy out through the skin or the kidneys.

Relation of Housing Conditions to

paper read before Association for the
Prevention of Tuberculosis.)
Sanitary statistics show that where bad
housing conditions exist the mortality
from all infectious diseases is excessive.
The reasons for this are apparent m
sufficient ventilation and insanitary sur
roundings reduce the vital resisting power
OF individuals exposed to such conditions
and make them especially liable TO in
lection; overcrowding causes closer con-
tact with infected individuals; absence of
sunlight prevents the destruction Of dis
ease germs by natures principal disin
fecting agent. The tubercle bacillus is
quickly killed by exposure to direct sun
light but may survive indefinitely in
dark and damp places.
When We consider the results Of bad
housing conditions as shown by sani-
tary statistics we must not lose sight of
other factors relating to the individuals
who occupy the most insanitary houses
in our cities. Poverty. sickness, ignor-
ance, and vice are all among the causes
which lead to the development Of slums.
Many who live in insanitary and over
crowded houses would gladly move into
well-ventilated and sunlighted apart
ments, having a supply Of running water
and sewer connections if they could af-
ford 1t.
Help OF Social Service.
Others are no doubt satisfied with the
conditions under which they live. having
never known anything better. But all
are comparatively helpless as regards the
condition of their environment. and II
becomes the duty of the municipality and
of pubIic-spirited citizens to seek a rem
edy for these conditions Much can be

much by visiting nurses who point out
the dangers of ill-ventilated rooms. i'm

the intelligent activities of the health
department. supported by proper sani-
tary regulations and an ample corps OF
Inspectors.
II We had a sanitary code. enforced
with vigor which prevented over-Crowd-
ing and promptly closed all houses not up
to a high sanitary standard, We would
soon reduce mortality rates among the
occupants of this class of houses. But
what is to become of the people who
are turned out of their insanitary homes
for the benefit of the rest of the COM
munity? No doubt most of them would
gladly move into better houses at the
same rent But in the city of Washing
ton. experience shows the supply of such
houses is inadequate and there is little
inducement for private enterprise to at
tempt to supply the demand.
CrowdinE Is Necessary.
With the existing scale of wages for
unskilled laborers those who are indus
trious and able to work can i'll afford to
pay the rents asked for alley houses, and
when disabled by sickness or old age,
over-crowding in the poorest of these
houses becomes a necessity. IL is there
