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.
