CURESAN OLD SORE
BUT NOT WITH SALVES
Every old tore can be cured unless it be of a malignant ancerous nature.
But no chronic ulcer can be cured by the application of salves or other ex-
ternal treatment. You must get dow to the origin and cause before you
can produce curative effects. Bad blood is responsible for old gores and the
one certain cure therefore is a thorough purification and upbuilding of ths
circulation. As ion gas impurities are left in the blood they will be depos-
ited into the ulcer to keep up the inflammation and irritation and nature
can make no progress toward healing the place. Noth-
