If Your Blood Happens to BE IL
Bad Condition, S. $. S. Will
Correct 1t Now.

Tho peculiar effect on the blood
caused by the rapid changes Of win
ter, the chilly blasts and dampness
long continued. will undoubtedly
have a disastrous effect upon your
system If your blood happens to be in
bad condition. You should not allow
yourself to run the risk Of suffering
with boils and carbuncles, you should
not willingly walk into the snare Of
pain and suffering Of rheumatism or
catarrh when you can put your blood
In shape to prevent it by the simple
method of taking S. S. S. for q short
period during tho fall. Boils and car
buncles are evidence Of disordered
blood. They do not necessarily mean
an inherited faint, but they tell you
that your blood is poisoned-that
the lffe-giving stream that should
flow through your veins-pure. Wig
orous and hcalthy-has become up
set, maybe by over-eating and drink
Ing, possibly by constipation, stomach
u or uric acid. Whatever the
cause, your blood has become poison
ed and you are not going to know
what 1t is to feel entirely we'll until
the poison and impurities have been
washed from your system. The blood,
purified and invigoratel, will once
more perform It's normal function Of
keeping the body full of health and
vigor.
