AS OLD That blood poison existed among the ancients has been proven beyond question. It has been traced back thousands of years, and is as old as the Pyramids. ' This blighting curse has been banded down from nation to nation and from individual to individual till it has spread to all parts of the world. Contagious blood poison, as it. is called in modern times, begins with a small sore or ulcer through which . the vims enters the blood. This is followed bv inflam mation and swelling of the glands of the groins, a red eruption breuVs out on the body, sores appear in the mouth and the throat becomes ulcerated, and as the disease takes a deeper hold and the blood becomes more thoroughly infected, the hair and eyebrows drop out, the skin is spotted with copper-colored splotches, the bones and muscles ache, and it teems to the victim of this monster scourge there is not a sound spot in the whole body. a i ne norror 01 wis awiui disease Can never be told. The one who con tracts it suffers in body and mind, sund if the poison is not eradicated transmits the taint to his children, and Contagious Blood Poison thas becomes responsible for many of the . ills of childhood Skin Eruptions, Catarrhal Troubles, Sore Eyes, Scalp Disease, White Swelling, Scrofula and others just as bad. S. S. S. , the great vegetable blood purifier and tonic, has long been recognized as a radical and sale cure for Contagious Blood Poison.
