A POOR CRUTCH.
Experience is dear teacher, as those who rin their
fafth to Mercury find cut sooner or later. This pow
erful poison combined with Potash, is the treatment gen
erally prescribed for Contagious Blood Toison, but failure
and disappointment is the invariable result. These min
erals drive in the sores and eruptions, and apparently the
disease is gone and the patient believes the cure per
manent, but soon learns better when the old symptoms
return almost as soon as the treatment is left off. You
must either keep the system saturated with mercury or endure the tortures
of sore mouth, ulcerated throat and the mortification that one naturally
feels when the body is covered with disgusting sores, rashes, copper-colored
splotches and other aggravating symptoms of this vile disease.
Mercury and Potash are poor crutches, and their use eventually breaks
down the constitution, ruins the digestion and cause the bones to decay.
of the disease seen. Nor is the taint ever transmitted to others.
We will send free our book on Contagious Blood Poison, which is interest
ing and contains full directions for treating yourself at home. Medical advice
or any special information desired given without charge.
