ton of your skin will depend
upon the condition Of your

skin, then the fiery irritation
and intense itching will remain
with you until these germs are
attacked at their source and re-
moved from the blood.
Genuine relief, therefore, can
only be expected from a treat-
ment that goes right to the
seat of the trouble, and strikes
at its cause. Such a remedy
is S. S. S., the reliable old blood
purifier that kills the germs
