This is the season that tests the quality of vour blood,
and if it is not good, then evidences of it will begin to'
show as the'weather grows warmer. Carbuncles and boils,
pimples and blotches, and numerous itching and burning
skin eruptions will make their appearance, and are sure in
dications of bad blood. If spring-time finds you with im
pure, sickly blood, then you are in poor condition to with
stand the strain upon the system which always comes at this
time of the year. A failure to look after your physical wel
fare now, by purifying the blood and toning up the gen
eral system, may result in a complete breaking down of
health later on, and you will find yourself weak and run
down, with no appetite, and a prey to indigestion and ner
vousness. It is poor -blood that makes weak bodies, for it
is this vital fluid that must supply vigor and strength to our systems, and ' upon its
purity rests our chances for health. Any impurity, humor or poison m the blood acts inju
riously upon the system and affects the general health. It is to the morbid, unhealthy
matter in the blood that chronic sores and ulcers are due. The pustular and scaly
skin eruptions so common during spring and summer, show the blood to be in a riotous,
feverish condition, as a result of too much acid or the presence of some irritating humor or
acrid poison in the blood. A large per cent, of human ailments have their origin in a
polluted, diseased blood, and can only be reached by a remedy that goes into the circulation
and uproots and expels the poison and restores the blood to a healthy, natural condition. If
you nave any symptoms
of bad blood, and are
thinking of a blood puri
fier, then think of S. S. S.,
