It is impossible for the system
to withstand the demands made
upon it just at this season, with
out the assistance o?a good puri
fying and strengthening tonic.
The chatiges which Nature decrees
shall take place each spring are
so severe that a breakdown is
almost sure to come. It is wise
that all possible assistance be
given during this period, as upon
this purifying process depends the
health for the entire summer.
Everybody just now should take a
thorough course of Swift's Specific
S.S.S.rTheBlood
which thoroughly cleanses the
blood of all the accumulated im
purities, tones up and strengthens
the entire system, and aids Nature
in 'renovating and renewing the
body so as to render it healthy and
strong. Those who purify their
blood with S. S. S. at this season
are well fortified against t lie many
forms of disease so prevalent dur- ;
ing the dreaded heatod term, for
it has been demonstrated that t ho
system that is thoroughly purified
in the spring is well prepared to
resist disease 11JI summer.
No other remedy on the market
is equal to Swift's Specific as a i
spring medicine, because it is the
only purely vegetable blood rem
edy and is guaranteed absolutely
free from potash, mercury and all
other minerals. It cleanses, puri
fies, builds up and strengthens.
Insist on S. S. b. , for there is noth
ing half as good.
