The most important part of the human system is the blood. Bvery mus cle, nerve, tissue, bone and sinew is dependent on this vital fluid for aoor ishment and strength necessary to maintain them in health and enable each to perform the different duties nature requires Even the heart, the very “engine *'of life, receives its vigor and motive power from the blood. Sbice go much is dependent on this vital flpid it can very readily be Men how necessary it is to have it pure and uncontaminated if we would enjoy the blessing of good health. Bad blood is responsible for most of the aftments of mankind; when from any cause it becomes infected with imparities, humors or poisons, disease in some form is sure to follow. Muddy, sallow complexions, eruptions, pimples, etc., show that the blood is infected with unhealthy humors which have changed it from a pure, fresh stream to a sour, acrid fluid, which forces out its impurities through the pores and glands of the skin. A very common evidence of bad blood is sores or ulcers, which break out on the flesh, often from a very insignificant bruise or even scatch or abrasion. If the blood was pure and healthy the place would heal at once, but being loaded with impurities, which are discharged into the wound, irritation and inflamma tion are set up and the sore continues. Bad blood is also responsible for Anaemia, Boils, Malaria, etc.; the weak, polluted circulation cannot fur nish the nourishment and strength required to sustain the body, and a general run-down condition of health results. S. S. S. is nature’s blood E urifier and tonic; made entirely of ealing, cleansing roots and herbs. It goes down into the circulation and removes every particle of impusity, humor or poison that may be there, restores lost vitality, and steadily tunes up the entire system. It adds to the blood the healthful properties it ie in need of, and in every way assists in the cure of disease. S. S.
