It is alwaya bad, though somethnes no external syraptoms of tbe disease ap. pear for a long time. Because the disease is slow in devel oping does not indicate that the case is a nnld one, for the poisouous virus at work iu tlie blood nud system may be spending its force upon some ititenial vital organ while you are looking for ex? ternal signs. Coutagious Blood Poison does not affect all alike. In most cases tbe first little sore is quickly followed by painful swellings in the groins, a red eruption upon the body, sores or ulcers in the mouth and throat, unsighlly copper colored blotches, loss of halr nnd eye brows and other syniptonis of this tniser able disease, When the poison is thus figbting its way to the surface, exposing the disense in all its hideousne.ss, we call it a bad case; but Contagious Blood Poi? son, whether workhig internally or exter nally, is a dangerous, tren.beroua disease. S. S. S. is the only remedy that cures Contagious Blood Poison tlioroughly and permanently. It is an autidote for the deadlv virus that produces the awful eruptions, 6ores and ulcers, and destroys the boues. Mercury and Potasli dry up the skin emptions, but iu so dohig drive the poison further into the system, where it slumbera for a time, but comes back ogain with redoubjed fury, S. S. S. is a vegetable remedy that has been used successfully for years iu trcat iugthisvilediseaseaud ciiresitiuallstagesnnd fonns, If you have the slightestsymptotu;au occaslonal sore mouth, or tnuscular and hono pnins, your bloodistaintedatid tho disease 13 liable to break out agaiu nt any time.
