S. 8. S. GOES TO THE OOTTOM. Promptly Reaches the Seat demonstrates its superiority over other blood remedies.

S. 8. always promptly reaches and cures any PIITDC thfl U/fifCt PSCOQ disease where the blood is in any way involved. UUluO lllu H-jiOl UQoCdi Everyone who has had experience with blood diseases knows that there.are no ailments or troubles so obstinate and difficult to cure. Very few remedies claim to cure such real, deep-seated blood diseases as 8. S. S. cures, and none can offer such incontrovertible evidence of merit. S S. S. is not merely a tonic —it is a cure! It goes down to the very seat of all blood diseases, and gets at the foundation of the very worst cases, and routs the poison from the system. Itdoes not, like other remedies, dry up the poison and hide it from view temporarily, only to break forth again more violently than ever; 8. 8. 8 forces out every trace of taint, and rids the system of it forever. Mrs.T. W. Lee, Montgomery, Ala., writes: “Some years Truinc.... ago I was inoculated with poison by a nurse who infected my babe with blood taint. I was covered with sores and y Yfeajk ulcers from head to foot, and in my great extremity I prayed Wm to die. Several prominent physicians treated me, but all 7 3 to no purpose. The mercury and potash which they U r x Ajr Save me seemed to add fuel to the awful flame which was evouring me. I was advised by friends who had seen wonderful cures made by it, to try Swift’s Specific. I improved from the start, as the medicine seemed to go direct to the cause of the trouble and force the poison out. Twenty bottles cured me completely.” Swift’s Specific— S. S. S.
