Mr. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfield, Mo., writes: “For six years I have been a sufferer from a scrofnlons 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 treatment here, my physician urged me to submit to a re moval of the gland. At this critical mo ment a friend recommended S.S.S., and laying aside a deep-rooted preju dice against all patent medicines, I be gan its use. Before I bad 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 would have escaped years of misery and saved over $150.” This experience is like that of all who suffer with deep-seated blood troubles. The doctors can do no good, and even their resorts to the knife prove either fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only real bloo' - remedy; it gets at the root of the disease and forces it out perma nently.
