Difficult Digestion !
Thar is dyspepsia.
It makes life miserable.
Its sufferers eat not because they want to,
— but simply because they must.
They know they are irritable and fretful;
but they cannot be otherwise.
They complain of a bad taste in the
mouth, a tenderness at the pit of the stom
ach. an uneasy feeling of puffy fulness,
headache, heartburn and what not.

When there is a natural and healthy circulation of tne blood, the entire
quantity, estimated at one-eighth the weight of the body, passes through the heart
every five minutes. This rapid flow of the blood through the system prevents the
entrance of disease germs and impurities of every description. It filters out all that
is not necessary or good for the growth anil development of the body and nourish
ing and strengthening the muscles, tissues, nerves and bones. But, unfortunately,
few persons can rightly claim an absolutely pure blood supply and perfect and
unpolluted circulation, and in consequence are exposed to innumerable diseases.
Contagious Blood Poison, the greatest enemy to mankind, enters the system
through the blood, and Cancer, Scrofula, Rheumatism, Catarrh, Eczema, Salt

naturally grows thin and pale because of the lack of the red corpuscles that give
color anl strength to youthful blood. Sallow complexions and rough, oily shins
evidence some constitutional or blood trouble, which salves,, lotions, powders nor
any external treatment can cure. Diseases that originate in the blood, whether
they manifest themselves as ulcers, tumors, itching eruptions, muscular or bone
pains, require a tonic and blood purifier such as S. S. S., which not only antidotes
and neutralizes blood poisons and humors, but possesses health-giving tonic proper
