poison poison I*B »re among the best known J of the many dangerous wl ld plants and shrubs. Ts To touch or handle them ll quickly produces swelling and inflammation with in- \J7 tense itching and burning of the skin. The eruption loon disappears, the suf- IL XLt serer hopes forever; but V almost as soon as the little blisters and pustules appeared the poison had reached the blood, and will break out at regular intervals and each time in a more aggravated form. This poison will loiter in the system for years, and every atom of it must be forced out of the blood before you can expect a perfect, permanent cure. A A8 Nature's Antidote Poisons, is the only cure for Poison Oak, Poison Ivy, and all noxious plants. It is composed exclusively of roots and herbs. Now is the time to get the poison out of your system, as delay makes your condition worse. Don't experiment longer with salves, washes and soaps—they never cure. Mr. S. M. Marshall, bookkeeper of the Atlanta (Ga ) Gas I.ißht Co . was poisoned with Poison Oak. He took Sulphur. Arsenic and various ether drugs, and applied externally numerous >,e nsand salves with no benefit At times the swelling and inflammation was so severe he was slur'St blind. For eight years the po'son would I reak out every season. His condition was much improved after taking one bottle of S. S. S , and a few bottles cleared his blood of the poison, and all evidences of the disease disappeared. People are often poisoned without knowing when or how. Explain your case fully to our physicians, and they cheerfully give such information and advice as you require, without charge, and we will send at the same time an interesting book on Blood and Skin Diseases.

Pat suffered from indigestion, so he went to see the doctor.

Pat knocked him down and walked over him. and. of course, the tramp wanted to know what he meant by such treatment. “Well." said Pat, “the doctor told me to walk on an empty stomach, and I am only obeying his instructions.” So many people wonder and ask themselves why it is that among so many cough syrups Dr. Marshall's Lung Syrup is so far superior for coughs.
