NO MERCURY
Medicines containing Mercury are often given to persons suffering with
Contagious Blood Poison, and so powerful is the action of this drug that it
frequently removes the symptoms in a short while, and shuts the disease
up in the system to do greater damage to the delicate internal members.
When, however, the treatment is left off, the disease always returns, and the
Sat i ent finds that his health has been injured by this powerful mineral, and
e is often left with weak stomach, disturbed digestion, mercurial rheuma
tism. etc. The action of S. S. S. is entirely different. It contains no
Mercury, nor any other harmful drug, but is made entirely of healing,
cleansing roots and herbs. It cures Contagious Blood Poison by removing
the virus from the blood.
It searches out every particle of the poison
and does not leave the least trace for future outbreaks.
S. S. S., in
addition to curing the disease, builds up and strengthens every part of the
body. Its fine tonic effects tone up the stomach and digestion, improve the
appetite and regulate the entire system. Home treatment book containing
valuable information about the different stages of the disease and any
medical advice desired sent free to all who write.
