You cannot expect to have
a healthy body if you have
impure blood running in
your veins.
The blood is the great
source of nourishment for all
flesh tissues. When the blood
is not pure it carries poisons
and impurities to all parts of
the body, causing local ills
that cannot be cured until
the blood is purified.
Rheumatism, Catarrh and
Malaria are the direct result
of impurities in the blood.
1t shows in such symptoms
as a lack of energy, loss of
appetite, sleeplessness, and
many other little ills that
may become serious if the
cause of them, blood impuri-
ties, is not removed.
Nature has given us the
true remedy for blood dis
orders and their kindred ills,
in the roots and herbs from
which s. s. S. is made.
These ingredients contain
the power to act directly
upon the blood corpuscles,
making them pure and
healthy so they can do their

and thirdly, what is salvation? He en-
phasiZed the fact that the answer BE
lieve on the Lord. Jesus Christ, and Thou
Shalt Be Saved is the condition as alb
solute today as 1t was 1900 years ago. In
substance he Said to believe in Jesus is
to believe in Him as the Way. the Truth

the truth in which to believe. and the life
in which we live. He closed with a touch
