ASA ' The iwual symptoms of Scrofula are enlarged glands of the neck Bore3 and ulcars on the body, skin affections, catarrhal troubles, wealf eyes, and funeral poor health. The inherited poison, transmitted throuE' the blood, pollutes and weakens this fluid, and in place of its nutritiv qualities fills the circulation with scrofulous mat ter, which saps the vitalit of the entiro cyr.tem. Thousands of children, boru with a scrofulous taint, have spont their childhood in constant physical suifering, and prown to manhood or womanhood handicapped by ill health and stunted crowth, anl perhaps mer some disease of the bones or joint3 doveloped S S S given in tnoir oarly life, would have prevented this. It would' h'avo cleansed and purified the blood of the taint, nourished and stengthened their systems, and assisted each to grow into strong, healthful manhood or womanhood. S. S. S. is the very best remedy lor Scrofula. It goes down to the bottom of the troublo, and cleanses the circulation ot all scrofulous matter. It supplies the weak, diseased blood with strength and health-building qualities, and under the purifying effects of this great remedy all symptoms of Scrofula pass away. s. S. S. contains no minerals in any form, and is an absolutely safe treatment for children,-even infants, or persons of any age.
