ith medicines as with other things, the surest test of.
worth is the length of time they have the confidence of
the people. The efficacy of S. S. S. has been thoroughly
proven by experience, and so successful lias it been that
today it is the best known and most vie'. lv used Mono1
remedy in the world. For diseases such as Rheumatism. Catarrh. Scrofula.
tnd,lv lo bi.iI id'. ' SL:"n Diseases, Sores and Ulcers, Contagious Wood Poison, and other troubles
due to an impure and poisoned condition of the blood, no remedy acts so
promptly aad thoroughly as does S. "fv and thousands throughout the
country, cured of such diseases, are daily recommending it to e thers simi
larly afflicted. iTS FORTY YEARS OF EXISTENCE HAVE BEEN
FORTY YEARS OF CURES. S. S. S. is a blood purifier of the highest
order, containing properties necessary to cure blood ti on Lies of every character,
and which make it the greatest of all tonics. It goes into the blood and drives
out any and all impurities, and makes this stream of life strong and healthy,
and when this is done disease can not remain. Iking made entirely from roots,
herbs and barks, chosen for their healing, purifying and building-up proper
ties, it docs not injure any of the delicate organs or tissues of the body as do
those medicines wh it h contain Potash. Mercury, Arsenic or ether harmful mineral.--.,
but cures safely as well as permanently. S. S. S. reaches deep-seated
and inherited cases on which the ordinary Sarsaparillas and tonics have no
effect. It is no experiment to use S. S. S.'; it is a remedy with a record; it
has proven its worth and ability by its forty years of cures. If you need a
b'ood remedy begin the use of S. S. S.; write us about vo ir case and let our
physicians advise you aud send book on the blood; no charge for either.
