As the blood contains all the elements necessary to sustain life, it is impor tant that it be kept free of all impurities, or it becomes a source of disease, poisoning instead of nourishing the body, and loss of health, is sure to follow. Some poisons enter the blood from without, through the skin by absorption, or inoculation ; others from within, as when waste products accumulate in the system and ferment, allowing disease germs to develop and be taken into the circulation. While all blood troubles have one common origin each has some peculiarity to distinguish it from the other. Contagious Blood Poison, Scrofula, Cancer, Rheumatism, Eczema and other blood diseases can be distinguished by mtainnff. ulcer, enrotion or inflammation atrnearin eon the akin. liverv blood. disease shows sooner or later on the outside and on the weakest part of the body, or where it finds the least resistance. Many mistake the sore or outward sign for the real disease, and attempt a curebythe use of salves, Mnimenjts and otha external applications. (Valuable time is lost and no permanent benefit derived from such treatment. BLOOD TROUBLES REQUIRE BLOOD REMEDIES the poison must be completely and perma nently eradicated the blood reinforced, purified and cleansed, or the disease goes deeper and saps the very life. ,, Mercury, potash and arsenic, the treatment usually prescribed in this class of diseases, are violent poisons, even when taken in small doses never cure, but do much harm by adding another poison to the already overburdened, diseased blood.
