Are you one of those unfortu-

working hours ruining your sleep?
i You may. have tried many things
I without relief. Why not try S.S.S.?
For more ft tan 100 years it has been
giving relief iu many forms of skin
disease. Thousands of letters or
gratitude prove its worth.
*1 feel so happy for what B.S.S.
has done for me that I want others
to kuow about it. I suffered twenty
toug years from eczema. At times
the itching was unbearable. During
that time I used ail kinds of salve s
without receiving any real benefit.
After taking six bottles of S.S.S. I
was cured of this dreadful disease.
1 recommend S.S.S. to anyone gar-
tering from eczema because I can-
not praise it enough for what it has
done for me." Clenphas Forte Sol-
diers and Sailors llume Quincy 111.
S.S.S. is purely vegetable. It is
extracted from the fresh roots of
medicinal plants and herbs and
gives to Nature what she needs in
building you up so that your sys-
tem throws off the cause.
S.S.S. is sold at all gooa drug
stores in two size*. The larger size
is more economical.
