II to M South Mttm Hint, I bequeath to my children. Scrofula with all its attendant horrors, humiliation and suffering. This is a strange legacy to leave to posterity ; a heavy burden to place upon the shoulders of the young. This treacherous disease dwarfs the body and hinders the growth and development of the faculties, and the child born of blood poison, or scrofula-tainted parentage, is poorly equipped for life's duties. Scrofula is a disease with numerous and varied symptoms; enlarged glands or tumors about the neck and armpits, catarrh of the head, weak eyes and dreadful skin eruptions upon different parts of the body show the presence of tttlercul.ir or scrofulous matter in the blood. This dangerous and stealthy disease entrenches itself securely in the system and attacks the bones and tissues, destroys the red corpuscles ol the 'blood, resulting in white swelling, a pallid, waxy appearance of the skin, loss of strength and a gradual wasting away of the body. S.w55. S. combines both purifying and tonic properties, and is guaran lost properties to the blood and quickens the circulation, bringing a healthy color to the skin and vigor to the weak and emaciated body, i Write ns about your case and our physicians will cheerfully advise and help you in every possible way to regain your health Book on blood and Skin diseases free.
