KM DISEASE
HUMORS IN THE BLOOD
When theLlood 13 pure, fresli and healthy, the skin will be soft, smooth
anJi free from blemishes, but when some acid humor takes root in the circu
lation its presence is manifested by a skin eruption or disease. These
humors get into the blood, generally because of aa inactive or sluggish
condition of the members of the body whose duty it is to collect and carry
off the waste and refuse matter of the system. This unhealthy matter is left
to sour and ferment and soon the circulation becomes charged with the acid
poison. The blood begins to throw off the humors and acids through the
pores and glands of the skin, producing Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Psoriasis,
Salt Rhcura and skin eruptions of various kinds. Eczema appears, usually
with a slight redness of the skin followed by pustules from which there
flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense.
It is generally on the back, breast, face, arms and legs, though other part9
of the body may be affected. In Tetter the skin dries, cracks and bleeds ;
the acid in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, which are intended
to keep it soft and pliant, causing a dry, feverish condition and giving it a
hard, leathery appearance. Acne makes its appearance on the face in the
IauffaredwithEoaamaforfortr f plmpfes and black heads, while
years and could find notion to 1 soriasis comes in scaly patches on differ
eura ma until I triad s. Sj a. I ent parts of the body One of the worst

and Ivy are also disagreeable types of skin
disease. The humor producing the trouble
lies dormant in the blood through the
Winter to break out and torment the
sufferer with the return of Spring. The best
treatment for all skin diseases is S. S. S.
It neutralizes the . acids and removes the
humors so that the skin instead of being
irritated and diseased, is nourished by a
6upply of fresh, healthy blood. External
applications of salves, washes, lotions, etc.,
while they soothe the itching caused by
6kin affections, can never cure the trouble
because they do not reach the blood. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation
and forces out every particle of foreign matter and restores the blood to its
normal, pure condition, thereby permanently curing every form of skin
affection. Book ou Skin Diseases and any medical advice desired sent freo
to all who write. S. S. S. is for sale at all first class drug stores.
