Usually the first symptom is a little sore or ulcer, insignificant in itself, but soon the blood becomes so contaminated that the mouth and throat ulcerate, glands in the groin swell, hair and eye- brows come out, copper colored spots appear on the body, ‘and frequently sores and ulcers break out on the flesh to humiliate the sufferer. S.S.S. cures Contagious Blood Poison by purifying the circulation, It attacks the disease in the right way by going down into the circulation, neutral- izing and forcing out every particle of the poison, and making this fluid pure, fresh and health-sustaining, The improvement commences as soon as the patieat gets under the influence of S.S.S., and continues until every trace of the disease is removed from the blood, and the sufferer completely restored to health. Not one particle of the poison is left for future out-breaks after S. S, S. has sage purified the blood, Book on the home treatment of this disease and anv medical advice desired ATLANT. ‘A.
