Boils, pfmples and so-ca1led skin disorders are the re- suit of an impoverished condition of the blood and are not to be trifled with.
 It is nothing more than folly to expect to get absolute relief from the use of local treatments, such as 0intments, salves, etc. Such remedies may afford temporary re- lief but you want more than re- lief: you want a remedy which will rid you forever of the tortur- ing disorders. And the one remedy which has no equal is S.S.S.
 S.S.S. stops boils and keeps them from coming. S.S.S. builds blood power! That is what makes fight ing blood. Fighting blood destroys impurities. It fights boils. It fights skin eruptions-ptmples, black heads, eczemal It always wins! S.S.S. has been known since 1926 as one of the greatest blood build CTS, blood eleansers and system strengtheners ever produced.
