No old sore exists merely because the flesh is diseased at that partic­
ular sput; if this were true simple cleanliness and loe.il applications would
heal them. Whenever a sore or ulcer refuses to heal readily, the blood is at
fault; this vital fluid is filled with impurities and poisons which are being
constantly discharged into the place, feeding it with noxious matter and
irritating and inflaming the nerves and tissues so the sore cannot heal.
These impurities in the blood may’ be the remains of some constitutional
trouble, the effect of a debilitating spell of sickness, leaving disease germs
in the system, or the abs<>rpti u by the bloo<l of the fcnn-nti'l refuse matt. r
which the bodily channels of waste have failed to remove. Again the cause
may be hereditary, the diseased blood of ancestry being handed down to
posterity ; but whatever the cause, the fact that the sore will n< t heal shows
the necessity for the very’ best constitutional treatment. There is nothing
that causes more worry’ and anxiety than an old sore which resists treatment.
