Boils are an outward indication of impurities in the system, and just when you think you are rid of one another crops up to take its place and prolong your misery. All the lancing and poulticing you cau do may not stop more coming. . . To help overcome boils you should purify the blood, so why not give that old, reliable blood medicine, Burdock Blood Bitters, a chance to snow what it will do in helping you get rid of them?
