S.S.S. is purely vegetable. Tt is extracted from the fresh roots of medicinal plants and herbs and gives to Nature what she needs in building you up so that your system throws off the cause. From youth to later years S.S.S. is a proven tonic —give it and take it where a tonic is indicated. S.S.S. is sold at all good drug stores in two sizes. The larger size is more economical.
