HIS INHERITANCE.
Scrofula is a forinJK blood poison
descending; from parSfit to child. Mer?
cury and potash dry up scrofulous
sores and bottle up the poison in the
system. S. S. S., drives the poison
out through the pores of the skin!
Her Boy.
Swift's Specific (S. 3. S.,) cured my Uttlo
boy of hereditary scrofula, which broke out
all over his face. For a year he had suffered,
and I had given up all hopes of his recovery,
when at length I was induced to use S. S. S.
After uslnjj a few bottles he was entirely
cured. Not a symptom now remains of the
disease. This was three years ago.
