FOR

0 2&?Q SEO
When bad blood is caused from an infection of the circulation by the
virus of Contagious Blood Poison, it usually shows in the form of ulcerated
mouth and throat, copper-colored splotches on the body, swollen glands in
the groin, falling hair, sores and ulcers, etc. These general symptoms,
affecting all parts of the body, show how deeply poisoned the blood
becomes, and emphasizes the dangerous character of the trouble. If allowed
to remain in the system the disease will finally wreck the health and break

the trouble, and by removing every trace of the poison, and adding rich,
healthful qualities to the blood, forever cures this powerful disorder. S. S. S.
is the most reliable of all blood purifiers, and its concentrated ingredients of
healthful vegetable extracts and juices especially adapt it to curing this
insidious trouble. Write for our home treatment book, which is a valuable

"We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a ma
jority of these precious lives. Neither do m hesitate to say that many of these
infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures
and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more cr less opium, cr
morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity
they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sicfciess, death. Castoria
operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of

Dr. A. F. Peeler, of St Louis, Mo., says: "I have rres ribed your Castoria
in many case3 and have always ftfund it an efficient and speedy remedy."
Dr. E. Down, of Philadelphia, Ta., says: "I have prescribed your Cas
toria in my practice for many years with great satisfaction to myself an4
JbeneCt to my patients."
Dr. Edward Parrish, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Cas
toria in my own household with good results, and have advised several
patients to use it for it3 mild laxative effect and freedom from harm."
Dr. J. B. Elliott, cf New York City, says: "Having during the past s!x
years prescribed your Castoria for infantile stomach disorders, I most
heartily commend its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious
to the most delicate of children."
Dr. C. G. Srracuc, cf Omaha, Neb., says: 'Tour Castoria is an ideal
medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it. While I do not advo
cate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria is an.
exception for conditions which arise in the care of children."
Dr. J. A. Tarkcr, cf Kansas City, Mo., 6ays: "Your Castoria holds tha
esteem of the medical profession in a manner held by no other proprie
tary preparation. Ii is a sure and reliable medicine for infants and cL?

Dr. II. F. Merrill, of Augusta, Me., says: "Castoria i3 one of the very
finest and most remarkable remedie3 for infants and children. In
opinion your Castoria has Baved thousands from an early grave. I cax

Dr. Norman M. Ceer, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "During the last tweTva
