Contagious
Blood Poison
There is no poison so highly contagious,
o deceptive aud so destructive. Don't be,
too sure you are cured because all external
signs of the disease have disappeared, aud
the doctor says you are well. Many per
sons have been dosed with Mercury and
Potash for months or years, and pro
nounced cured to realize when too late
that tho disease was only covered up-r-
m,. driven from the
UK0 mmgetw una. 8Urfnccto brcak

cation find those nearest and dearest to
them have, been infected by this loath
some disease, for no other poison is so
surely transmitted from parent to child
as this. Often a bad case of Rheumatism,
Catarrh, Scrofula or severe skin disease,
an old sore or ulcer developing in middle
life, can be traced to blood poison con-
Kdy" Th9 of thm PmrwnU
life, for it remains smoldering in the sys
tem forever, unless properly treited and
driven out in the beginning. S. 8. S. is
the only antidote for this peculiar virus,
the only remedy known that can over
come it and drive it out of the blood, and
it does this so thoroughly and effectually
that there is never a return of the disease
to embarrass or humiliate you afterwards.
