Here Now ... -(,., i . KZZSO ZZZQ KZZSO TOKIC Th very great majority of persons need a tonic In the Spring or early Summer. The system undergoes a change at this season and the entire physical machinery is disturbed. The general bodily weakness, a tired. worn-out feeling, ncuie appetite, poor digestion, a bait s'.ci teeung ana a general run-down condition of the system, show that the blood Is weak or anaemic, and a blood purifying tonic is needed to build up the derangal system and enrich the blood. The use of S. S. S. at this time may save you from a long spell of sickness, and it will certainly prepare you for the long, hot Summer. Many people have put of! using a tonio until the system became so weakened and depleted it could not successfully throw off disease germs, and have paid for the neglect with a spoil of fever, malaria or some other debilitating sickness. S. S. S. is Nature's, ideal tonic. It is a composition of the extracts and Juices of roots, h'erbs and barks which science and experience have proven are best 'fitted for a tonio to the human system. It contains no minerals of any kind and is therefore perfectly safe for persons of any age. S. 8. S. tones up the stomach and digestion, rids the system of that tired,' worn-out feeling, and imparts vigor and strength to every part of the body. It Taurines and enriches the blood, stimulates the secreting and excreting members to better action, quiets the over 3trained nerves, and makes one feel better in everv vav, THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA.
