The system undergoes a change at this season and the entire physical machinery is disturbed. The general bodily weakness, a tired, worn-out faellng. fickla appetite, poor digestion, s half sick feeling and e general run-down condition of the system, shew that the blood is wea,k oi anaemic, and a blood purifying tonic Is needed to build up the derangec 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 tas long, hot Summer. Many people have put off using a tonic until the systen became so weakened and depleted It could not successfully throw off disease germs, and have paid for the neglect with a spell of fever, malaria or som other, debilitatin,1; sickness. ' S. S. S. is Nature's Heal tonic. It is e composition ot the extracts and Juices of roots. herbs and bark3 which science and experience have proven are best fitted for a tonlo to the humat system. It contains no minerals of any kind and U therefore perfectly saft for persons of any age. S. S, 8. tone3 up the stomach and digestion, rids the system ot that tired, worn-out feeling, and imparts vigor and strength to every part of the body It purifies and enriches the blood, stimulates the secreting and excreting members to better action, quiets the over strained nerves, and makes one teel better in everv way.
