S. S. S. is the Only
Remedy Equal to this
Obstinate Disease.
There are dozens of remedies recommended for
Scrofula, some of them no doubt being able to
afford temporary relief, hut S S. S. is absolutely
the only remedy which completely cures it.
Scrofula isoneof the most obst inate, deep-seated
blood diseases, and is beyond the reach of the
ninny so-called purifiers and tonics because some-
t hing more than a mere tonic is required. S. S. S.
is equal to any blood trouble, and never fails to cure Scrofula, because it
goes down to tho seat of the disease, thus permanently eliminating every
trace of the taint.
The serious consequences to which Scrofula surely loads
should impress upon those afflicted with it the vital im
portance of wasting no time upon treatment which can
not possibly effect a cure. In many cases where the wrong
treatment has been relied upon, complicated glandular
swellings have resulted, for which the doctors insist that
a dangerous surgical operation is necessary.
Mr. II. K. Thompson, of Milledgeville, Ga.. writes: “A
bad case of Scrofula broke out on the glands of my nqck,
w hich had to be lanced and caused me much suffering. I
was treated for a long while, but the physicians were un
able to cure me, and my condition was as ’end as when I
began their treatment. Many blood remedies were used,
but, without effect. Someone recommended S S. S . and
I began to improve as soon as I had taken a few bottles.
Continuing the remedy. I was soon cured permanently,
and have never had a sign of the disease to return.” Swift’s Specific-
S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD
—is the only remedy which can promptly reach and cure obstinate, deep-seated j
blood diseases. By relying upon it, and not experimenting with the various !
so-called tonics, etc., nj| sufferers from blood troubles can be promptly cured, j
instead of enduring years of suffering which gradually but surely undermines I
the constitution. S. S S. is guaranteed purely vegetable, and never fails to
cure Scrofula, Ktizenia, Cancer, /Rheumatism, Contagions Blond Poison, Boils, l
Tetter, Pimples, Sores, Ulcers, etc. Insist upon S S S.: nothing can take its place. I
