CONTAGIOUS
NO LIMIT TO ITS
Contagious Wood Poison lias broti(1it morcBuflering, misery and hutnila
Hon into the world than nil other diseases comWncil ; tlicrt in hnrdly any
limit to its powers for evil. It is the blackest and vilest of nil disorders,
wrecking the livesof these unfortunate enough to contrac t it nnd often bcliif?
transmitted to innocent offspring, a UiBliting lejrncy of suflcrintr nnd Blmtiie.
So Lijthly contaKious is the trouble that innocent persons may contract it
by using the same table ware, toilet articles or clothing of one in whose
blood the treacherous virus lias taken root. Not only is it a powerful poison
but a very deceptive one. Only those who have learned by bitter experience
know by the lfttle sore or ulcer, which usually jiinkca its appearance first, of
the Buffering which is to follow. It comes in the form of ulcerated mouth
and throat, unsightly copper colored spots, swollen glands in the groin,
falling hair, offensive sores and ulcers on the body, nnd In pevcre cases the
finger nails drop off, the bones become diseased, the nervous system is shat
tered and the sufferer becomes an object of pity to his fellow man. ICspccl
Blly is the treacherous nature of Contagious Wood 1'oinon, shown when the
infected person endeavors to combat the poison with mercury nnd potash.
These minerals will drive away all outward symptoms of tho troubles for
a while, and the victim is deceived into the belief that lie is cured. When,
howcver.the treatment is leftoff he finds that the poison lias onlybeen driven
deeper into the blood and the disease reappears, and usually in worse form
because these strong minerals have not only failed to remove the virus from
the blood but have weakened the entire system because of their destructive
action. S. S. S. is she only real and certain cure for Contagious Wood Poi
son. It is madeof a combination of healing blood-purifying roots, herbs
and barks, the best ia Nature's great laboratory of forest and field. We
offer a reward of $ i.ooo for proof that S. S. S. contains a particle of mineral
