Tne V6rZ sreat majority of persons need a tonlo in the Sprinsr 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 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.
