eware of tiie There is not the slightest doubt that the
doctors do more harm than good in treating
Contagious Blood Poison ; many victims of
Patchwork You Can this loathsome disease would be much better
; off to-day if they had never allowed them
selves to be dosed on mercury and potash , the
Oure Yourself at Home. only remedies which the doctors ever give for
. blood poison.
The doctors are wholly unable to get rid of
this vile pdison , and only attempt to heal up the outward appearance of the
disease the sores and eruptions. This they do by driving the poison into the
system , and endeavor to keep it shut in with their constant doses of potash
and mercury. The mouth and throat and other delicate parts then break out
in to sores , and the light is continued indefinitely , the drugs doing the system
more damage than the disease itself.
Mr. H. L. Myers , 100 Mulberry St. , Newark , N. J. , says : 'I had spent a
hundred dollars with the doctors , when I realized that
they could do me no good. I had large spots all over my
Bcdy , and these soon broke out into running sores , and I
endured all the suffering which this vile disease pro
duces. I decided to try S. S. S. as a last resort , and was
soon greatly improved. I followed closely your 'Direc
tions for Self-Treatment , Specific'I
chest beganto grow paler and smaller , and before long
disappeared entirely. I was soon cured perfectly and my
akin has been as clear as glass ever since. I cured my
self at home , after the doctors had failed completely. "
It is valuable time thrown away to expect the doctors
to cure Contagious Blood Poison , for the disease is be-
jond their skill. Swifts Specific
acts in an entirely different way from potash and mercury it forces the
poison out of the system and gets rid of it entirely. Hence it cures the
disease , while other remedies only shut the poison in where it lurks forever ,
constantly undermining thp constitution. Our system of private home treat
ment places a cur'1 within thp roach of all. We give all necessary medical ad
vice , free of charge , and save the patient the embarrassment of publicity.

lives a happy wife. She writes : " I
have used Mother's Friend before
two confinements. The last time I had
twins , and was in labor only a few min
utes. Suffered very little. " The reason
why'S
does expectant mothers so much
good is because it is an external liniment ,
to be applied upon the outside , where
much of the strain comes. It helps be
cause the pores of the skin readily absorb
it , and it comes into direct contact with
and is absorbed by the parts involved.
Morning sickness is quickly banished ,
and nervousness is kept completely away.
The sense of dread and foreboding is not
experienced , even during labor itself.
Confinement is short and aknost without
pain. Recovery is quick and sure. Best
jf all , Mother's Friend benefits the
unborn just as much as the expectant
mother , and when the little one comes it
will be strong , lusty and healthy.
