SHORT LOCAL ITEMS. Why Do More People Insure in Tlie New York Life Insurance Company Than Any Other Company? There is not the slightest doubt that the doctors do more harm than good in treating Contagious Blood Poison; many victims of this y^hsome disease would be much better off ^uay if they had never allowed them selves to ue dosed on mercury and potash, the only remedies which the doctors ever give for blood poison. The doctors are wholly unable to get rid of “I had spent a Beware of the Doctors' Patchwork; You Can Cure Yourself at Home. this vile poison, and only attempt to heal up the outward appearance of the dig^age—the sores and eruptions. This they do by driving the poison into the system, and endeavor to keep it shut in with their constant doses of potash and mercury. The mouth and throat and other delicate parts then break out into sores, and the fight is continued indefinitely, the drugs doing thesystem more damage than the disease itself. Mr. II. L Myers, 100 Mulberry St., Newark. N. J., says hundred dollars with the doctors, when I realized that they could do me no good. I had large spots all over my bcdy.and these soon broke out into running sores, and I endured all the suffering which this vile disease pro duces. I decided to try S. S. S. as a last resort, and was soon greatly improved. I followed closely your ‘Direc tions for Self-Treatment,’ and the large splotches on iny chest began to grow paler and smaller, and before long disappeared entirely. 1 was soon cured perfectly and my skin has been as clear as glass ever since. 1 cured my self at home, after the doctors had failed completely.” It is valuable time thrown away to expect the doctors to cure Contagious Blood Poison, for the disease is be yond their skill. Swifts Specific— S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD ac ts in nn entirely different way from potash and mercury—it forces the poison out of the system and gets rid of it entirely. Hence it cures the disease, while other remedies only shut the poison in where it lurks forever, constantly undermining the constitution. Our system of private home treat ment places a cure within the reach of all. We give all necessary medical ad vice, free of charge, and save the patient the embarrassment of publicity.
