cased by his wife of selling her to a
boarder, with the furniture of their
little home In East Eighty-third street,
for |15.
The wife, mother of four children,
told the police Housaani disappeared
after he had called her into the sit
ting loom two weeks ago and, after
counting over the furniture and stack
ing It In a pil*. accepted three $5
bills from the boarder and said to her:

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. S. neutral
izes any excess of acid in the blood, making it fresh and pure, and perma
nently cures Eczema. Acne, Tetter, and all other skin diseases and eruptions.
S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Malaria, and all
other diseases or disorders arising from bad blood. Book on the blood and
•ny medical advice desired free to all who write.
