MURPHY I HARDWARE and CROCKERY rS'd lMUBr ES ' f.M OF DISEASE AND SUFFERING 1 Hf ft.-,-. V- Wntrnth is mnrm fnmihlw tnrniffiH . rV,,-; " like begets like ;" for just as the offspring of healthy ancestry are bless, with pure, rich blood, insuring health and strength, so the children of bloo tainted parentage inherit a polluted circulation to burden their existenc with disease and suffering. Swollen glands about the neck, brittle bones weak eyes, pale, waxy complexions, running sores and ulcers and genera poor health, are the usual ways in which Scrofula is manifested. In eohii cases the blood is so filled with the scrofulous germs and tubercular matte, that from birth life is made miserable with suffering. Others who inheri: the disease succeed in holding the trouble in check during young, vigorout life, but when the system has begun to weaken and lose its natural vitality, r- and especially after a spell of sickness, the ravages of the disease will com y mence, and in a great many cases terminate in Consumption. S. S. S. is thi very best treatment for Scrofula. It renovates the entire circulation ami drives out the scrofulous and tuberculai deposits. S. S. S. is the greatest of all bloot purifiers, and it not only goes to the verj bottom of the trouble and removes the caus and cures the disease, but it supplies th. weak, anaemic blood with the healthfn properties' it is in need of. S. S. S. is mad. entirely of healing, cleansing roots, herb: atid bnrlcd, and is an absolutely safe remedy for young or old. Book 01 the blood and any medical advice about Scrofula triven free of charge. i- THE SWVI SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA PURELY VEGETABLE A ' - LOCAL ITEMS.
