Lo o h i e inFot H UULSLAEC.': Railrad Fre Reunde AN INSIDIOUS FOE TO HEALTH Malaria is an atmospheric poison which we unconsciously breathe into our.lungs through the impure air arising from low, marshy places, stagnant ponds, damp cellars, sewer pipes, improperly ventilated houses, decaying vegetable matter, etc. Day after day these germs and poisons are taken into thelungs, and as the blood passes through them it becomes infected with the poison and in its circulation distributes the microbes of disease to all parts of the body. Malaria is a very insidious disease; it gives no warning of its coming intil the circulation is filled with the poison and this foe to health has the system at its mercy. The blood becomes polluted, thin and weak and its slow, irregular circulation fails to properly nourish and Ftrengthen the body. Then the entire system is attacked, and if the germs ?and poisons of Malaria are allowed to remain the strongest constitution will break down. No one can feel well when the system is in a malarial condition; the vitality is weak, the appetite poor, digestion deranged, the complexion grows sallow and the entire body feels the effects of the poison. Malaria must be removed from the system through the circulation and the only medicine that can accomplish this is S. S. S. It not only cleanses the blood of all unhealthy, morbid matter.-but destroys the germs, cures Malaria and restores this vital fluid to a strong, healthy condition. S. S. S.
