But they cannot cure tlie vile disorder; they can only cover up the nymptoras for awhile or raask the disease in the system, but as soon as the treatment is left off the hideous symptoms return. Mercury and potash eat out the delicate lining of the stomach aud bowels, produce chronic dyspepsia by drying up the gastric juices, cause the teeth to decay, and often completely break down the coustitution, and where they are used iu large quantities. the bones becoue nlfected, while the disease for which one has so long taken this destructive treatment has not been cured. Contagious Blood Poisoa is a disease it will uot do to trifle with. It is a vile, dangerous and destructive disorder, When the blood becomes infected with its virus the mouth and throat ulcerate, hair and eye brows come out, glands in the neck aud groin swell, copper-colored spots appear on the flesh, and in severe cases sores break out ou the body; the fmger naila drop off and the sufferer is diseased from head to foot.

Instead of leaving bad af ter-efl'ects as some jnedicines dp, S. S. S. tpnes up every part of tlie system and puts every part of the body iu perfect health.
