How incon ceivably great is the parents' v A 4-ia responsibility, and how important thnt m-UWMmW no taint of disease is left in the blood VII 111 to be transmitted to the helpless child, entailing the most pitiable suffering, and marking its little body with offen sive sorca nnd eruptions, catarrh of the nose and throat, weak eyes, glandular swellings, brittle bones, white swelling nnd deformity. How can parents look upon such little sufferers nnd not reproach themselves for bringing so much misery into the world ? , If you have any disease lurking in your system, how can you expect well developed, healthy children ? Cleanse your own blood nnd build up your health, and you have not only enlarged your capacity for the enjoyment of the plensurea of life, but have discharged a duty all parents owe to posterity, nnd made mankind hcnltliicr and happier. There is no remedy that so surely teaches dccp-scatcd, stubborn blood troubles as a. a. a. it scarencs out even neretuiary poisons, and removes every taint from the blood, and builds up the general health.
