blood constantly discharges
into them.
Another common indica-
ton of weak, impure blood
l is the loss of appetite, tired,
y worn out feeling and a gen.
eral rundown condition of
the system. This is an all
ment very prevalent in the
Spring and most persons so
afflicted realize the necessity
of overcoming the trouble by
the use of a tonic.
We recommend to all in
need of blood purifier OF
tonic, the use of S. S. S., a
medicine which has proven
itself the greatest of all blood
purifiers. 1t goes down into
the circulation and removes
all impurities, humors and
poisons and makes the blood
pure and Misunderstanding.
1t purifies and strengthens
weak deteriorated blood, sup
plies it with the healthful
properties it needs and lays
the foundation for good
health. AS a tonic S. s. S.
has no equal and those who
are beginning to feel the need
of such medicine to fortify
themselves against the I'M
pleasant conditions which
come with Spring and early
Summer, should commence
its use at once. S. S. S., the
King of Blood Purifiers. is
a genuine blood cleanser,
made entirely from roots,
herbs and banks; it does not
contain a particle of mineral
in any form. You could not
do better than begin the use
of S. S. S. if from any cause
your blood is weak or impure
and you will find it the most
satisfactory tonic you ever
used. Write for book on the
blood and any medical adj
vice. No charge for either.

As the Lion is Monarch of
the Forest. so S. S. S. is King
of Blood Purifiers and Mas
ter over all Blood diseases.
Pure. rich blood and a free
circulation is the surest pre-
vention against the diseases
and disorders which are con-
stantly attacking our phys
zeal systems. Healthy blood
stimulates the eXcretory men,
bers and enables them to fill
ter out of the system every
thing that is not necessary or
beneficial to the growth and
development of the body.
Thus we are apt to remain
healthy unless there is a
weakening of the vital fluid
or an impure infection of the
circulation.
Imperfect blood takes var
ious forms in its outward
manifestation. A weak, wa
terry circulation denotes amaze
mia with its attendant evils
of pale, waxy compilations,
malaral conditions, or per-
haps some more definitely
marked disorder is shown.
Frequently the Blood becomes
infected with Gcrid humors,
and Eczema, letter, Acne, or
some other skin affection

an excess of uric acid in the
circulation produces Rheuma-
tism with it's pains and
aches. Old Sores and Ulcers
are likewise dependent on
bad blood, these places being

irritation by the drainage of
