Rogers and Black, honest men when
they went out there after Mr.. Starnes

nervous. Why? Why do you say you
were nervous; because Of the automo-
bile ride? Because you looked into
the race OF this little girl and It was
such a gruesons sight? I tell YOU,

It, that this man Frank needed. when
he had his wife go down to the door

To Cure CataHh
Purify the Blood
Reason it Out, Where Does il
Start the Mucus From?

Innumerabie catarrh sufferers have
cured themselves by purifying their blood
with S. S. S. Catarrh often invades the
entire system before it chokes the nasal
passages. It becomes so chronic and ex-
tensive that the stomach, liver, kidneys,
bronchial tubes and most Of the glands
are involved without such serious cOndi-
tons being realized. Catarrh may be
the result Of some serious blood trouble
Of former years, and this is only one Of
the many peculiar effects of impure blood.
Now S. S. s., in its influence upon the
mucous surfaces, causes those catarrhal
secretOns to be changed or converted
into a substance easily, quickly, and nat
orally expelled from, the body. 1t so
changes this mucus that it IS not the
rOpy, clogging stuff that plugs the nose,
chokes the throat, causes severe bowel
trouble, upsets the stomach and contain
mates the food just entering the blood.
1t is often difficult TO convince catarrh
sufferers that chronic cough, chest pains,
gagging, fetid breath and other symp-
toms are only the local evidence Of deep
seated trouble. Get a bottle of S. S. S.
today and try it. You will get good re-
suits, real benefit and soon be aware of
a gradual cleaning up and a check to the
progress and dangers of catarrh. Avoid
substitutes. S. S. S. is prepared only by
The Swift Specific Co., 81 Swift Bldg,
Atlanta, Ga. They conduct a medical de-
partment for free advice that is worth
while consulting.
