HAPPY* is the woman who
has a clear, smooth, flaw
less skin! Both men and women
admire such captivating loveli
ness.
First impressions cannot be
good without a clear skin—first
impressions are quickly made and
are not soon forgotten. Old
friends may excuse pimples and
secretly sympathize but new ac
quaintances may not be so chari
table. Skin blemishes are not in
viting. Neither can they be cov
ered up. They embarrass. Hold
people back. Steal away joy and
happiness.
A lovely—clear skin—is within
the reach of all. To those who
have lost it, hope is offered. Y ou,
too, may have a beautiful skin,
rose-petal in texture, pretty as a
picture and without a single
pimple.
The way to the Skin
is through the Blood
Strong, healthy blood nour
ishes the body and fights again:t
infection and disease.
Without plenty of rich, red
blood, there could be no strong,
sturdy, powerful men, or beauti*
ful, healthy women.
Many thousands have regained
their strength and charm by tak
ing S.S.S. It is Nature’s own
blood tonic for raising the body’s
power of resistance to disease,
improving the appetite, building
firm flesh, and clearing the skin.
S.S.S. promotes constructive me
tabolism (healthy bodybuilding).
It increases the number of red
blood-ceils.
When you take S.S.S. to get rid of
pimples, boils, eczema and such skin
troubles, you are building up the system
to ward off the graver diseases of which
these blemishes are Nature’s warning.
S.S.S. is made from fresh vegetable
drugs and has a successful record of over
100 years back of it.
All drug store*
sell S.S.S. Ask for
the larger size. It
is more economical.
