The usual symptoms of Scrofula are enlarged glands of the neck,
sores anil ulcers oa the body, skin affections, catarrhal troubles, weak
eyes, nnd Rounral poor health. The inherited poison, transmitted throw?'.-,
the blood, pollutes and weakens this fluid, and in place of its nutritive
qualities fills the circulation with scrofulous matter, which saps the vitality
of the entire system. Thousands of children, born with a scrofulous taint,
have spent their childhood In constant physical suffering, and grown to
manhood or womanhood handicapped by ill health and stunted growth,
and perhaps later some disease of the bones or Joints developed. S. S. S.,
given in thoir early lifo, would have prevented this. It would have
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 for Scrofula. It goes
down to the bottom of the troullo, and cleanses the circulation of ai:
scrofulous matter. It supplies the weak, diseased blood with strength
and health-building qualities, and under the purifying eifocts of this great
remedy all symptoms of Scrofula pass away. S- S. 8. contains no minerals
In any form, and Is an absolutely safe treatment for children, even infants,
or persons of any age. Literature about Scrofula and any medical advlca
