ALL DRUGGISTS SELL IT IN $l.OO BOTTLES V/ROTE Y wine | OLD PEOPLE "as. Most old people are great sufferers in Winter. They * L/IC are seldom free from pains or ailments of some description, because they are not as able to withstand the severity of the climate, with its damp, changing weather, as are their younger, more vigorous companions. Cold weather starts the old aches and pains; they suffer with chilly sensations, cold extremities, poor appetite and digestion, nervousness, sleeplessness and other afflictions peculiar to old age. With advancing years the strength and vitality of the system begin to decline. The heart action is weak and irregu lar, the blood becomes thin and sluggish in its circulation, and often some old blood taint that has lain dormant in the system for j'ears begins to man ifest itself. A wart or pimple becomes a troublesome sore or ulcer, skin dis eases break out, or the slight rheumatic pains felt in younger days now cause sleepless nights and hours of agony. Tiiere is no reason why old age should not be healthy and free from disease if the blood is kept pure and the system strong, and this can be done with S. S. S. It iu a medicine that is especially adapted to old people, because it is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, selected for their purifying, healing and building-up properties, and is very mild and gentle in its action.
