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
