S.S.S. will rid you of boils, pimples.
blackheads and skin eruptions!
N ONT CLOSE your eyes to the
- warning which Nature gives
when angry, painful boils appear
on your neck, face or other parts
of your body. Boils, pimples and
so-called skin disorders are the re.
suit OF an impoverished condition
of the blood and are not to be
trifled with.
1t Is nothing more than folly to
expect to get absolute relief from
the use of local treatments, such
as ointments, salves, etc. Such
remedies may afford temporary re-
lief but you want more than re.
lief you want 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. 1t fights
skin eruptions-pimples, black
heads, eczema! 1t always wins!
S.S.S. has been known since 1926
as one Of the greatest blood build
ers, blood cleansers and system
strengtheners ever produced.
There are no unproven theories
about S.S.S., the scientific results
of each OF its purely vegetable
medicinal ingredients are admitted
by authorities. Begin taking S.S.S.
today and clear your skin Of those
blood disorders!

.
NEW YORK, Dec. 19.--N Neither
the railroad nor the oil, stocks ap-
peared to be- in position to resume
today the vigorous advances which
featured them IN the earlier ees.
sions Of the week.
Further selling Of the railroad
stocks featured the opening period.
while the oils, after an irregular
opening. exhibited b firmer tone, but
nothing to be compared with the
btioya11t condition which closed Fri.
days active session.
al considerable volume Of oil
and railroad stocks was brought to
market on profit taking IN the first
hour, but buying demand also was
liberal. and price changes were mar
row. Heavy trading continued IN
Rock Island and the Missouri Pacifics
at prices fractiOnally below the
previous close.
the merger stocks moved down q
point 81 lees while New Haven.
New York Central and other leaders
in this weeks notable rally were
CONSPICUOUS for their absence.
Weekend ebuBiMess reports related
principally TO the large volume Of
retail and holiday trade, which ap.
peared to be. up to expectations.
There was no confirmation OF
reports that crude oil prices were
about to be marked up, though de-
livery prices for gasoline and kerO-
sene ended the week at increases Of
from to 3 cents 81 gallon.
The public utility and speciality
stocks led the way to slightly high
or prices in the second hour.
Postum Cereal moved up points
to 1O4k, against yesterdays low
at 81, on reports that this com.
pany would absorb Jello Company.
Atlantic Gulf and West Indies
advanced 2 points IN fairly active
trading; Brooklyn Manhattan Tran
sit advanced 2 points on the pros.
poets OF the inauguration Of cash
dividends early next year. Ameri.
can Can spurted about 5 points
and Consolidated Gas sold near the
high Of the week. Murray Body
continued to improve and reached
15N, compared with d low OF 81
when receivership was announced
last week.
Professional traders who stirred
up'' the oil stocks on Friday were
ready to make q hasty exit from
them today, with the result that
both the standard and Independent
Oils returned to practically the
Same price levels they occupied be-
fore the movement started. The
oils have been credited with more
s.false starts IN the last two or
three years than any major groups
or speculative stocks.
Pressure on the motor shares in
the second period also turned the
trend Of prices downward? and the
reactionary tone gradually spread
to the whole list.
