BLOOD POISON The black flag is an emblem of horror and dread. When it is hoisted an army, the order has gone forth that “no quarter ” will be given, ev- srything must be destroyed. Helpless women and children, as well as oppos ing soldiers, meet the same fate, and a trail of desolation, suffering and death is left behind. Contagious Blood Poison is the black flag of the great army of disease. This vile disorder is known as the blackest and most hide ous of all human afflictions, overthrowing its victims and crushing out the kle. It is narespecter of persons; no matter how pure the blood may be or how innocently the disease is contracted, when this awful virus enters the circulation the hideous, hateful and humiliating symptoms begin to appear, sod the sufferer feels that his very presence is polluting and contaminating. Usually the first sign of the disease is a little sore or ulcer, but as the blood becomes more deeply poisoned the severer symptoms are manifested, the mouth and throat ulcerate, the glands in the groins swell, a red rash breaks out on the body, the hair and eyebrows come sut, and often the body is cov ered with copper-colored spots, pustular eruptions and sores. In its worst stages the disease affects the nerves, attacks the bones and sometimes causes tumors to form on the brain, produc ing insanity and death. Not only those who contract the poison suffer, but unless the virus is driven from (he blood the awful taint is handed down to offspring, and they are its htnoceet victims. Blood Poison is in deed a “black flag.’’ Mercury and Potash, so often used, never can cure the trouble. These minerals merely drive the symptoms away for awhile and shut the disease up in the system, and when they are left off it returns worse than before. This treatment not only fails to cure blood poison but eats out the delicate lining of the stomach and bowels, produoes chronic dyspepsia, loosens the teeth and fre quently causes mercurial rheumatism to add to the patient’s suffering. S. S. S., the great vegetable medicine, is the conqueror of this vile disease. It goes down to the very root of the trouble and cures by cleansing the blood of every particle of the poison. S. S. S. does not hide or cover up anything hut clears the entire circulation of the virus and puts tSie system in good healthy condition. It cures safely as well as certainly, because there is not a A A Hfednw a particle of mineral in it. We offer a re- B w W ward of $1,000.00 for proof that S. S. S. piipr I V VPPFTARI F * s not P ure b' vegetable. When the blood ftuulMDLu. j g purified and strengthened with this great remedy the symptoms all pass away and no sign of the disease is ever seen again ; nor is there left the least trace to be handed down to posterity.

National Collection Agency, of Washington, P C. Will Dispose of the Following Judgments: Several ye&ra ago I bad blood poiaon and my fiesb was in an awful condition. Great sores would break out and noth' ing I put on them would do any good. My hair and eyebrows fell out and I was “a fright.” My mouth was so sore I had to live on milk and water. I took Mercury for a long time and instead of getting better I continued to grow worse and my arms and hands became solid sores. My legs were drawn ao I could not walk and I felt that my time was short here if I did not get some re lief. I began to use your S. S. S. and it helped me from the start. After taking it awhile the sores all healed, my rheu matism was cured and to-day 1 am a strong, well man. It got all the mer cury out of my system and it cured me sound and well.
