Ninth WHEH a The Most Popular wiceig-licowo Blood Parmer GUARANTEED PURELY VEGETABLE This is the season that tests the quality of your 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 (0 indigestion and ner vousness. It is poor blood is this vital fluid that must 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.
