intrenched in the blood often attacks the bones, resulting in W hite Swelling,
or hip disease, and the scrofulous and tubercular matter so thoroughly
destroys the healthful properties of the blood that Scrofula sometimes
terminates in consumption, an incurable disease. The entire circulation
being contaminated, the only way to cure the trouble ia to thoroughly
rity the blood and restore the circulation to a strong, healthy state.
S. S. ia the very best treatment for Scrofula; it renovates the entire
blood supply and drives out the scrofulous and tubercular deposits. S. S. S.
is the greatest of all blood purifiers, and it not only goes right down.to the
very bottom of the trouble and removes the cause, but it supplies the weak,
diseased blood with the healthful properties it is in need of, and in this way
builds up weak, frail, scrofulous persona and makes them strong and healthy.
S. S. S. ia a gentle, safe, vegetable preparation and is suited for persons of
any *ge. Book on the blood containing information about Scrofula and any
