Of tiie Knife.
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

much on their feet, or who are unable to
stand the strain of over-work and worry, ■ <
are peculiarly susceptible to the wea»' )

of womankind. The symptoms of such
derangements are insufficient or excessive
