 For many years Plough's Pres scription C-2223, has been used with great success as blood purifier. Be- fore the treatment, ready prepared, was offered to the public, it was used by a prominent physician to relieve those conditions caused by impure blood. It was his prescription for blood and rheumatic troubles.
 This concentrated liquid treatment contains certain medicinal ingre- dients which are known and used by the medical profession, and an- thorities agree that these are some of the few drugs which are of value in the treatment of rheumatic con- ditions, skin diseases and troubles caused by an impure state of the blood.
 If you are half sick, tired all the time, have reason to believe that your blood is impure, go to your nearest druggist, get $1.5O bottle of Plough's Prescription C-222S and . 25c package of 2223 Liver Pills; or the 2223 Labatory, Memphis, Tenn, will send both, all charges raid. on receipt of $1.75t Your money back if you are not satisfied.
