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.

No matter how hard
your cough or hovv long
you have had it, Ayer s

today, get a bottle of
Cherry Pectoral at once.
