"FOR THE BLOOD IS THE LIFE."

Sure Signs of Blood Impurity.

The antiwat soosting through the skin of ECZEMA, BIOTCHES, SPOTS, BLACKHEADS, PIMPLES, BOILS, SORES AND ERUPTIONS OF ANY KIND.

The throbbing nching pains of BAD LEGS, ULCERS ABSCESSES, SCRO- FULA. GLANDULAR SWELLINGS, BLOOD POISON, PILES.

The Dread Grip of RHEUMATISM, SCIATICA, LUMBAGO, GOUT.

All those are sure signs of clogging blood impurity, calling for immediate treatment through the blood, so don't waste your time and money on useless lotions and messy ointmente, which cannot get below the surface of the skin. What' you want and what you must have is a medicine that will get right to the rout of your trouble, medicine that will thoroughly free the blood of the poisonous matter which alone is tho trus cause of all your sufering.

Clarke's Blood Mixture is just such a medicine. It is composed of ingredients which quickly attack, over- come, and expel from the blood all impurities (from whatever cause arising), and by rendering it clean and pure can be. relied on to effect a lasting opre.
