This power? ful poison combined with Potash, is the treatment gen? erally prescribed lor Contagious Blood Poison, but failure aud 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 eme perilla? lient, but soon leartis better when the old symptoms return almost as soon as the treatment is left oil. 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 6plotches 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. S. S. S., a guaranteed purely vegetable remedy, is the only antidote for Contagious Blood Poison. Jt de? stroys every atom of the deadly virus, overcomes the bad effects of the mercury and cleanses the hl<pod and system so thoroughly that never after are anjy signs Nor is the taint ever transmitted to others. ' We will send iree our book on Contagious blood 1'oison, which is inter? esting and contains full directions for treating yourself at home, y Medical advice or any special information desired given without charge. / TH*r s win SPEGIFiG CO,, ATLANTA, G A* of tlie disease seen.
