The virulent germs which produce these out ward manifestations must be completely driven from the blood before a real cure can be effected. The least taint left in the circulation will, sooner or later, cause a fresh outbreak of the trouble, with all the hid eous symptoms of ulcerated mouth and throat, copper colored splotches, falling hair, sores and ulcers, etc. ' Contagious Blood Poison is the most treacherous of all diseases. It has its victims in its power almost before they realize its presence, because its first symptom is usually a little sore or pimple so insignificant that it does not excite sus picion. But the insidious poison is at work, on the blood and in a short, while the pa tient finds he is more or less affected from head to foot. Contagious Blood Poison is too dangerous to trifle with. No time should be losfrin rid ding the blood of this destruc tive poison, and in no tiisease is it more important to have the proper remedy. .Medi cines which merely check the symptoms for a time and leave i the real cause smouldering in CURED S0UKD AND WEIX.
