OLD SODES KEPT OPEN B Y I M P U R I T I E S IN THE B LO O D W henever a sore refuses to heal it is because the blood is not pure and healthy, as it should be, but is infected with poisonous germs or some old blood taint which has corrupted and polluted the circulation. Those most usually afflicted with old sores are persons who have reached or passed mid dle life. The vita lity of the blood and strength of the system have naturally begun to decline, and the poisonous germs which have accumulated because of a sluggish and inactive condition of the system, or some hereditary taint which has hitherto been held in check, now force an outlet on the face, arms, legs or other part of the body. The place grows red and angry, festers and eats into the surrounding tissue until it becomes a chronic and stubborn ulcer, fed and kept open by the impurities with which the blood is saturated. N othing js more tryin g and disagreeable than a stubborn, non-healing sore. The very faet th a tjt resists ordinary remedies and treatments is good reason for suspicion; the same germ-producing cancerous ulcers is back of every old sore, ami especially is this true if the trouble is an inherited one. Washes, Salves, nor indeed anything else, applied directly to the sore, can _ d oan yp erm an en tgood ;n eith crw illrem ov- f.c 7 o P f® r? e a T i* .?an°fT4n “ tt in g the sore with caustic plasters or the w a a a small pimpla at u.st put it surgeon's knife nroke a lasting cure.
