PERFECT HEALTH
"The Blood is the Stream of Life." IMPURE BLOOD is the root cause of Skin Diseases, Bolis, Eczema, Rashes, Ulcers, Sores, Painful Joints, Rheumatic com- plaints. Unless the blood is cleansed of Impurities and poisons, the arteries and Internal organs are damaged, causing prematuro old age. The direct way to health is by purifying the blood with Clarkes Blood Mixtura.
