For tho future we shall exert
our hearts and bend our hands un-

By associated Press

1t May Mean Eczema, Scrofula
The First Sign of Inher-
tied Blood Disease.

Pimples, scaly itching skin. rashes,
burning sensations and Scrofula
denote with unfailing certainty a
debilitated, weakened and impure
state OF the blood. The trouble
may have been in your blood from
hlrth. but no matter how you were
infected, you must treat it through
the blood. 1t is a blood disease.
You must use S. S. S., the standard
blood tonic for so years, if YOU ex-
pect certain relief. For purifying
the system, nothing is equal to it.
