How To Keep Your Blood
Pure and Wholesome
1t Is the Person With Rich, Red, Normal Blood-The Person
of Health and Energy-That Meets With Busi-
ness and Social Success,


When your blood is impoverished
and loaded with waste products, you
don't get the full strength out Of your
food, and as a consequence, you be-
come weak, nervous, and easily upset.
Waste products get into the blood
mainly through the intestines, but
there are other s~ources--for instance,
the glands. Some glands secrete d.
gestive juices, while others excrete
waste products. If they fail to prop
erly function, waste products accu-
mulate.
As a result, nature strives to cast
of the poisons. 1t may be through
the skin in the form of some skin dis
order, but it is not %infrequent for it
TO settle in the muscles and joints
and aus rheumatism.
For over SO years, thousands and
thousands Of men and women have
relied on s. S. S. to clear their blood

your liver and straighten you

necessary. Give it to the child
