Mr. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfield, Mo., writes: “For six years I have been a sufferer from a scrofulous affection of the glands of my neck, and all efforts of physicians in Washington, D. C., Springfield, 111., and St. Louis failed to reduce the enlargement. After six months’ constant ti^atinent here, my physician urged me to submit to a re moval of the gland. At this critical mo ment a friend recoinmenued S.S.S., and laying aside a deep-rooted preju dice against all patent medicines, I be gan its use. before I had used one bot tle the enlargement began to disappear, and now it is entirely gone, though I am not through with my second bottle yet. Had I only used your S.S.S. long ago, I Vtoulu yCc*»s of mLasy and saved over ?i.So.” This experience is like that of all who suffer with deep-seated blood troubles. The doctors cau do no good, and even their resorts to the knife prove either fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only real blood remedy; it gets at the root of the disease and forces it out perma nently. S.S.S. (guaranteed purely vegetable') A Real Blood Remedy. is a blood remedy for real blood troubles; it cures the most obstinate cases of Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer, Rheumatism, etc., which other so-calied blood reme dies fail to touch. S.S.S. gets at the root of the disease and forces it out per manently. Valuable books will be sent free to any address by the Swift Specific Co., At lanta, Ga. ITEMS OF INTEREST TERSELY TOLD.
