In former days at this time of year our ancestors used togo
to the woods with a shovel and roots and herbs which they
compounded into a home made blood purifier.
You can't do this because you're too busv, Wrause you
could not find the necessary ingredients and might not know
them if you saw them.
The medicine makers have kept step with the march of
nrogreps and prepared several scientific compounds containing
the same ingiedicnts our forefathers used, making it conveni
ent for everyone. We sell them.
