1 i BEAUTY OF SKIN PURITY OFBLOOD Ancient and Modern Ideas on These Interesting Subjects. U P -TO -D A TE M ETHOD S For Purifying and Beautifying the Skin, Scalpp Hair and Hand*. Socrates called beaaty a short-lived tyranny, Plato a privilege o f nature, Theocritna, a delightful prejudice, Theophrastus a silent cheat, Carneades a solitary kingdom, Homer a glorious g ift o f nature, Ovid a favor o f the gods. Aristotle affirmed that beauty was better than all the letters o f rec­ ommendation in the world, and yet none o f these distinguished authorities has le ft us even a hint o f how beauty Is to be perpetuated, o r the ravages o f disease defied. Tim e soon ^ and nds the lily and the rose into the pallor o f age, disease dots the fair face with cutaneous disfigurations and crimsons the Homan nose with unsight­ ly flushes, moth, i f not rust, corrupts the glory o f eyes, teeth, and lips yet beautiful by defacing the complexion, ami fills the sensitive soul with agony. I f such be the unhappy condition o f one aillicted with slight skin blemishes, what roust be the feelings o f those in whom torturing humors have fo r years run riot, covering the skin with scales and sores and charging the blood with poisonous elements to be­ come a part o f the system nntil death? it is in the treatment o f torturing, disfiguring humors and affections o f the skin, scalp and blood, with loss o f hair, that the Cuticura remedies have achieved their greatest success. Orig­ inal in composition, scientifically com­ pounded, absolutely pure, unchange­ able in any climate, always ready, and agreeable to the most delicate and sen­ sitive, they present to young and old the most successful curatives o f mod­ ern times.

I believe It is concede« by all other breeders that oats In some form is the best possible feed to devel op the colt, calf, lamb or pig. but these all have grinders, so In feeding oats to poultry to get best results they must be soaked or boiled, nnd if In addition to this a liberal amount o f good grit is furnished you w ill find oats nil ideal feed ns a bone nnd flesh former nnd also an excellent egg producer.

CRUSHES O U T THE LIFE The mu&t loathsome and repulsive of all living things is the serpent, and the vilest and most degrading of all human diseases is Contagious Blood Poison. The serpent sinks its fangs into the flesh and almost instantly the poison passes through the entire body. Contagious Blood Poison, beginning with a little ulcer, soon contaminates every drop of blood and spreads throughout the whole system. Painful sw ellings appear in the groins, a red rash and copper colored splotches break out on the body, the mouth and throat become ulcerated, and the hair and eye brows fall o u t ; but these symptoms are mild compared to the wretchedness and suffering that come in the latter stages of the disease when it attacks the bones and more vital parts of the body. It is then that Contagious Blood Poison is seen in all its hideous­ ness. The deep eating abscesses and sickening ulcers and tumors show the whole system is corrupted and poisoned, and unless relief comes soon this serpent disease tightens its coils and crushes out the life. The only antidote for the awful virus is S. S. S. It is r& rnody, com­ posed entirely of vegetable ingredients. S. S. S. destroys every vestige of the poison, purifies the blood and removes nil danger of transmitting the J ) ) f O ) awful taint to others. Nothing else w ill do this. Strong mineral remedies, like mercury and potash, dry up the sores and drive in the disease, but do not cure permanently. Send for our home treatment book and write us if in need of medical advice o r special inform ation. This w ill cost you nothing.
