fore the blood should be nourished,

One Of the striking changes in
modern medication is the way the use
of iron for blood troubles has de-
creased. 1t was discovered that iron
was not a blood food. When people
are suffering from poisoned blood, or
impure or Impoverished blood they
need a remedy that will not only drive
out the impurities but that will nourish
the blood at the same tines. S. s.,
the standard blood purifier for so
years, is purely vegetable and will
absolutely drive out the impurities and
nourish and tone up the entire sys-
TEN, both physical and nervous.
