DON'T TR!FLE WITH BLOOD DISORDERS.
BUT GET RID OF Them QUICKLY.
Cleanse the System of All Impurities

Cleanse the System of All Impurities
Watch your blood supply closely,
be ever on the alert lest some i'm
purity creep in which will make in
roads upon your general health.
For upon the condition of your
blood depends largely whether or
not you are to enjoy that robust and
splendid vitality to which you are
entitled.
Some of the most painful and Sc
rious ailments are diseases of the
blood, which could be avoided by
alert and prompt attention. Rheu-
matism comes from a tiny germ
which gets it's foothold when the
blood supply is impure and run
down.
Catarrh is another disease which
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-10-01

science has shown is more easily
contracted when the blood is in an
impoverished and disordered state.
There are numerous other diseases
which are due solely to an impure
condition of the blood.
Can you not see, therefore, the i'm
portance of taking a blood purifier,
so as to avoid these diseases? Just
give the system a thorough cleans
ing with S. S. S., that sterling blood
remedy, and you will be in position
to enjoy the blessings of good
health.
S. S. s. has been on the market
for more than fifty years and is sold
by druggists everywhere. Demand
