A Good Beginning
If the blood is in good condition at the beginning of the warm season,
you are prepared to resist disease and are not apt to be troubled with boils,
pimples, blackheads and blotches, or the itching and burning-skin eruptions
that make one's life a veritable torment and misc y.
Now is the time to begin the work of cleansing and building up the
biooa ana strengthening me wcai:
places iu your constitution. During the
cold winter months we are compelled
to live indoors and breathe the impure
nir of badly ventiltttcd rooms and of
fices. We over-work and over-eat, and
get too little out-door exercise, and our
systems become clogged with impuri
ties and the blood a hot-bed of germs
and humors of every kind, and warm
weather is sure to bring a reaction,
and the poisonous matter in the blood
and system will break out iu boils and
pustules or scaly eruptions and red,
disfiguring bumps and pimples. Make
a good beginning this season by taking
a course of S. S. S. iu time; it will not
only purify your blood and destroy the
germs and poisons, but promotehealthy
action of the Liver and Kidneys and
give you a good appetite at a time
when you need it most.
S. S. S. improves the digestion and
tones tip the Stomach, and you are not
continually liaunted by the fear of
indigestion every time you eat, or
troubled with dtxziness, nervousness
and sleeplessness. There is no reason
to dread the coming of warm weather il you have your system well fortified
and the blood iu a normal, healthy condition. It is the polluted, sluggish
blood that invites disease germs, microbes and poisons of every kind and
bring on a long train of spring and summer ailments, break down the con
stitution, and produce weakuens, lassitude, and other debilitating disorders.
Eczema, Acne, Nettle-rash, Poison Oak and Ivy, and other irritating skin
troubles are sure to make their appearance unless the humors and poisons
are antidoteu ana the thin, acid blood
made rich and strong before the coming
of warm weather.
A course of S. S. S. now would be
a safe precaution and a good beginning
and enable you to pass in comfort
through the hot. sultrv months and
escape the diseases common to spring and summer. S. S. S. is guaranteed
purely vegetable and is recognized as the best blood purifier and the most in
vigoratiag and pleasant of all tonics. Write for our book on "The Blood and
U filmses." TH SWIFT JPECtfW CO., ATLANTA. tUU

Notwithstanding the elTort that have Iteen made within the past few
years to trace the origin of cancer, It must, In truth, be confessed that but
a very small corner of the veil which covers Its secret has been lifted. !U
etiology Is yet to be discovered. Perhaps of nil the well-known disease
of modern life, our knowledge of cancer Is less than of any. The hopt-nil
fisiMire of the situation Is that almost all clvlllxeil, nations are vying with
each. other, and giving money and brain In the endeavor to miIvo thu cancer
