Three J'ust Claitns, 
 
 I. No department of science has wit- 
 nessed greater progress during the past 
 twenty-five years than that of obtaining 
 correct information of the relative medici- 
 nal value of the various articles of the 
 vegetable kingdom used for the relief of 
 human suffering— their proper, effective 
 combination, and the best method of 
 securing and preserving their active prin- 
 ciples for universal use. These search 
 ing investigations have shown that many 
 articles which, at that time, were sup- 
 posed to possess great curative effects 
 are void of any medicinal power what- 
 ever. The supreme importance of purify- 
 ing the blood has made this subject a field 
 of active operations, the results of v;hich 
 havo enabled us to present for your use 
 and appreciation Jlood's Sarsaparilla, an 
 article which, by a combination peculiar 
 to itself, is so vastly superior to any simi- 
 lar preparation that one has well said: 
 " Its health-giving effects upon the blood 
 and the entire human organism are as 
 much more positive than the remedies of 
 a quarter of a century ago, as the steam- 
 power of to-day is in .advance of the slow 
 and laborious drudgery of years ago." 
 
 II. No other blood-purifier is worthy 
 of comparison with Hood's Sarsaparilla. 
 By cures wholly unprecedented in the 
 history of medicine, it has proven its 
 right to the title of " The greatest blood- 
 purifier ever discovered." We challenge 
 any medicine to show an appreciation at 
 home like that which has been poured 
 upon Hood's Sarsaparilla. Such results 
 only come from real merit, and the steadi- 
 ly increasing demand for this article 
 unmistakably proves that people appre- 
 ciate it. If you are suffering from scrof- 
 ula, salt-rheum, or any obnoxious humor, 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla is the remedy to 
 bring you relief. 
 
 III. A bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla 
 contains three times as much medicine as 
 any other for the same money. If you 
 are suffering from biliousness, dyspepsia, 
 headache or exhaustion, try Hood's Sar- 
 saparilla. To prove our claims: 
 
 1. Compare the clean, clear and beauti- 
 ful appearance of Hood's Sarsaparilla 
 with tlie muddy, gritty make-up of other 
 preparations. 
 
 A' 
 
 2. Compare the record of wonderful 
 cures, as shovra by the testimonials we 
 publish. 
 
 3. Compare the dose and amount 
 given in Hood's Sarsaparilla with that 
 given by others. A dollar bottle of Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla contains an average of more 
 than 100 doses.

 A trial will convince the most sceptical 
 of the real merit of Hood's Sarsaparilla, 
 and enable all to test its wonderful 
 power in restoring and invigorating the 
 whole system, in renovating and enrich- 
 ing the blood, in giving an appetite and 
 tone to the stomach, in eradicating and 
 curing scrofula, scrofulous humor, scald- 
 head, syphilitic affections, cancerous 
 humor, ulcers, sores, tumors, ringworms, 
 salt-rheum, boils, pimples and humors on 
 the face, catarrh, headache, dizziness, 
 faintness at the stomach, constipation, 
 pains in the back, kidney complaint, 
 female weakness, general debility, cos- 
 tiveness, biliousness, dyspepsia, indiges- 
 tion, lassitude and languor peculiar to 
 spring and hot weather, loss of appetite 
 and all diseases arising from an impure 
 state or low condition of the blood. 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla is d-esigned to act 
 upon the blood, and through that upon 
 all the organs and tissues of the body. 
 It has a specific action, also, upon the 
 secretions and excretions and assists 
 nature to expel from the system all hu- 
 mors, impure particles and effete matter 
 through the lungs, liver, bowels, kidneys 
 and skin. It effectually aids weak, impair- 
 ed and debilitated organs, invigorates the 
 nervous system, tones and strengthens, 
 the digestive organs, and imparts new 
 life and energy to all the functions of the 
 body. The peculiar point of this medi- 
 cine is that it strengthens and builds up 
 the system while it eradicates disease. 
 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla is sold by all drug- 
 gists. Price, $1.00 a bottle, or six bottles 
 for $5.00.

Clear Soup, 
 
 5 lbs. of clear beef cut from the lower 
 part of the round, 5 qts. cold water; cut 
 tlie beef into small pieces, add the water 
 and let it come to a boil gradually; skim 
 carefully and set where it will keep at the 
 boiling point 8 or 10 hours; strain and set 
 away to cool. In the morning skim off 
 all the fat, pour the soup into a kettle, 
 being careful to keep back the sediment, 
 rut into the soup 1 onion, 1 stalk of cel- 
 ery, 2 sprigs of parsley, 2 sprigs of thyme, 
 2 of sununer savory, 2 leaves of sage, 2 
 bay leaves, 12 pepper corns, 6 whole 
 cloves; boil gently 20 minutes, strain 
 through a napkin, first seasoning with 
 salt and pepper to taste; tie the herbs 
 together before putting into the soup. 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla purifies the blood. 
 
 Vegetable Soup, 
 
 1 pint of vegetables, including turnip, 
 carrot, onion and celery; cut into small 
 pieces and boil one hour in water enough 
 to cover. Add 1 quart of clear stock, a 
 little more salt, boil a few minutes and 
 serve. Take Hood's Sarsaparilla now. 
 
 I*ea Soup, 
 
 Pick over 1 pint of split peas; wash and 
 soak over night; in the morning turn off 
 the water and put them in the soup-pot ; 
 add 4 quarts of cold water, i^ lb. of lean 
 salt pork, a small piece of celery, onion 
 and a little pepper; boil gently four or 
 five hours, being careful that it does not 
 burn; when cooked it will look smooth 
 and rather mealy. Hood's Sarsaparilla 
 renovates the system. 
 
 3Iutton Soup, 
 
 Take the water that remains in the 
 steamer after the mutton is cooked— see 
 steamed leg- of mutton— there should be 
 about 3 quarts, add ^2 cup English split 
 peas, nicely washed, 1 small onion, and 
 cook gently three hours, adding a little 
 more water if it cooks away much; before 
 taking from the fire add salt and pepper 
 to taste. Half a teaspoonful of "Worces- 
 tershire Sauce gives a very nice flavor. 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla eradicates scrofula. 
 
 JFe Regret 
 
 That limited space has forced us to con- 
 dense many testimonials. We trust, how- 
 ever, that we have not shorn them of tlie 
 elements that will convince our readers 
 of the real merit of Hood's Sarsaparilla. 
 We honestly believe a trial will satisfy 
 every one that our remedy contains an 
 unusual amount of medicinal power. 
 
 I*urify the Blood, 
 
 The importance of a proper purification 
 of the blood cannot be over-estimated. 
 When this vital fluid is contaminated, 
 diseases of various kinds present them- 
 selves, such as a feeling of general debil- 
 ity, weakness, want of appetite, dyspep- 
 sia, nervousness, constipation, headache 
 and the more positive signs of blood im- 
 purities. Scrofula, Salt Eheum, Cancerous 
 Humor, Scald Head, Boils, Scrofulous 
 Humor, Pain in the Bones, &-c. Just here 
 we wish to ask attention to Hood's Sarsa- 
 parilla and the wonderful record it has 
 made in purifying the blood of hundreds 
 of sufferers and restoring them to health. 
 We tell you the truth of this remarkable 
 medicine and believe it the best combina- 
 tion possible to purify, vitalize and enrich 
 the blood. 
 
 "I have never found anything that hit 
 my wants as Hood's Sarsaparilla. It 
 tones up my system, purifies my blood, 
 sharpens my appetite, and seems to make 
 me over." Picspectfully yours, J. P. 
 Thompson, Eegister of Deeds, Middlesex 
 Coimty, Lowell, IMass. 
 
 A Big Thing, 
 
 "Mr. Wliitman, Druggist on INIain St., 
 informs us that since the first of August, 
 he has disposed of five gross of Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla and that it has the largest 
 sale of any medicine in the market. It is 
 also by far the most popular, and in all 
 his experience there never came to his 
 knowledge a single complaint in regard 
 to its curative effects, but its praises are 
 on the lips of everybody who uses it. The 
 cause of this is undoiibtedly the merit of 
 a superior article, for Messrs. C. I. Hood 
 & Co., are gentlemen who would feel un- 
 pardonable, were they to offer for sale an

 Hood's Sarsaparilla 
 
 Is a carefully prepared extract of the 
 best remedies of the vegetable kingdom 
 known to medical science as Altera- 
 tives, Blood-Purifiers, Diuretics and Ton- 
 ics, such as Sarsaparilla, Yellow Dock, 
 Stillingia, Dandelion, Juniper Berries, 
 Mandrake, Wild Cherry Bark and other 
 selected roots, barks and herbs. ^Ye as- 
 sure everyone that no article entering 
 into the preparation of Hood's Sarsapa- 
 rilla can possibly do any harm, if taken 
 according to our published directions. 
 Each dollar bottle contains one hund- 
 red (average) doses. Probably never 
 in the history of proprietary medicines 
 has any article met success at home 
 equal to that which has been poured 
 upon Hood's Sarsaparilla. Why, such 
 has been the success of this article, 
 that nearly every family in whole neigh- 
 borhoods have been taking it at the same 
 time. Every week brings new evidence 
 of the wonderful curative properties of 
 this medicine.

 Spring Hedicine 
 
 Is a necessity, because being " housed 
 up" through the winter, breathing the 
 impurities in the atmosphere of rooms 
 heated by wood or coal and contaminated 
 by the gases they throw off, the blood 
 being the receptacle of these impurities, 
 its vitality is so reduced that it is impos- 
 sible to withstand the additional debili- 
 tating influence of warm weather; hence 
 that spring feeling of languor, lassitude, 
 and that low state of the system peculiar 
 to the spring months ; all of which can be 
 positively overcome by taking Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla. 
 
 A gentleman who has been suff- 
 ering from the debility and languor 
 peculiar to this season, says " Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla is putting new life right 
 into me. I have gained ten pounds since I 
 began to take it." Has taken two borles. 
 
 SoocCs Sarsaparilla works wonders in blood. 
 
peeled and sliced thin, and half an onion 
 cut in small pieces. Cut a quarter of a 
 pound of pork into small pieces and f ry 
 bro^\^l; put the potatoes and onion into 
 the kettle with the pork; with a table- 
 spoonful of salt, a little pepper and 14 cup 
 of flour shaken over them; strain over this 
 4 qts. of the water in Avhich the clams were 
 scalded and boil fifteen minutes ; now add 
 the clams and 6 crackers split, and cook 
 ten minutes longer. Hood's Sarsaparilla 
 creates an appetite. 
 
 Hollandaise Sauce, 
 
 Half a teacupful of butter, the juice of 
 half a lemon, the yolks of two eggs, a 
 speck of Cayenne pepper, half a cupful of 
 boiling water, half a teaspoonful of salt; 
 beat the butter to a cream, add the yolks 
 of eggs one by one, then the the lemon 
 juice, pepper and salt, beating all thor- 
 oughly; place the bowl in which is the 
 mixture in a saucepan of boiling water; 
 beat with an egg-beater until it begins to 
 thicken, which will be about a minute, 
 then add the boiling water, beating all 
 the time; stir until it begins to thicken 
 like soft custard, stir a few mmutes after 
 taking from the fire; be careful not to 
 cook it too long. This is very nice with 
 baked fish.— il/iss Parloa. Cure Salt 
 Eheum, take Hood's Sarsaparilla. 
 
 Scalloped Oysters. 
 
 Butter an oval dish, put in a layer 
 of oysters, and dredge in a little salt, 
 pepper and butter, then a layer of 
 1 oiled cracker; pour over this a few 
 i,poonfuls of milk, just enough to moisten 
 the cracker, then a layer of oysters with 
 salt, pepper and butter; another of 
 cracker, with a little more milk, and so 
 on until the dish is full; before putting 
 into the oven pour a little more milk over 
 the top ; bake about half an hour. Diph- 
 theritic convalescents should take Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla. 
 
 Oyster Hoast, 
 
 Put one quart of oysters in a basin with 
 their own liquor and let them boil three 
 or four minutes; season with a little salt, 
 pepper and a heaping spoonful of butter. 
 Serve on buttered toast. Hood's Sarsa- 
 parilla vitalizes the blood. 
 
 An alderman of this city says of Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla, "It is the strongest Sarsa- 
 parilla I ever saw." 
 
 Tlie Seasouo 
 
 Wliy does everybody take a spring 
 medicine? For three good reasons, viz: 
 T.— Because one bottle of a blood-purifier 
 taken at this season will do more good 
 tlian two at any other. II.— Because the 
 blood is in a more impure condition than 
 at any other season. III.— Because the 
 system is so weakened by this impure 
 state of the blood that it has not sufficient 
 vitality to withstand the debilitating 
 effects of spring weather. Hence, by 
 common consent, people seek relief in 
 medicine. The combination of Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla commends it to our judg- 
 ment as a good spring medicine and blood 
 purifier. Such things as Sarsaparillla, 
 Yellow Dock, Mandrake, &c., compounded 
 by competent druggists like Messrs. Hood 
 & Co., warrant us in suggesting that all in 
 need of a medicine of this kind give 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla a trial. — Boston 
 Herald. 
 
 " I consider Hood's Sarsaparilla one of 
 the best medicines for early spring, when 
 the blood is in a low condition and needs 
 cleansing. I have been benefited by its 
 use and have recommended it to my 
 friends." I remain yours truly, W. H.

 Dear Sirs— Last j^ear I was all used up 
 and tried various things without benefit. 
 Dr. Mason suggested I try Hood's Sar- 
 saparilla, which Avas meeting quite a 
 sale, and doing sick people good. I took 
 a bottle home, and I declare I never sav/ 
 anything beat the way it took hold of me 
 and lifted me up. I took several bottles 
 and it did me more good than all the 
 medicine I ever used before. It sharp- 
 ened my appetite, gave me strength and 
 renewed my lease of life. If people want 
 a medicine to go all through 'em, and 
 
 Everybody likes Hood's Sarsaparilla. Try it. 
 
steamed Oysters, 
 
 Leave a covered dish where it will heat, 
 wash and drain the oysters, put them in a 
 shallow tin and place it in the steamer, 
 cover and leave it over boiling water 
 until the oysters are puffed and curled. 
 They may he dressed at table when eaten, 
 or butter, salt and pepper may be added 
 in the kitchen when served in the heated 
 dish. Hood's Sarsaparilla enriches the 
 blood. 
 
 Broiled Oysters. 
 
 Select good sized oysters, drain off the 
 liquor, then roll in fine cracker crumbs, 
 place on the broiler and cook over a 
 bright fire; when brown take off, add to 
 each a little butter; serve hot. Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla tones the stomach. 
 
 Roast Beef. 
 
 An onion sliced and put on top of a 
 roast while cooking gives a nice flavor. 
 Remove the onion before serving. Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla restores the system. 
 
 Steamed Leg of Mutton, 
 
 Steam a leg of mutton until tender, then 
 place in a roasting-pan, salt and dredge 
 well with flour and set in a hot oven until 
 nicely browned; tho water that remains 
 in the bottom of the steamer may be used 
 for soup. See mutton soup. Hood's Sar- 
 saparilla cures dyspepsia. 
 
 Baked Ham, 
 
 Take a medium-sized ham and soak 
 twenty-four hours in cold water; wipe 
 and scrape clean; make rather a stiff 
 paste of rye meal and water, cover the 
 ham entirely with the paste and bake hi a 
 moderate oven six hours. This is much 
 nicer than boiled ham. Diphtheritic 
 poison in the blood neutralized by Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla. 
 
 Apple Fritters, • 
 
 Beat to a froth two eggs, and stir into 
 this half a pint of milk, one teaspoonful 
 of salt, two cups of flour; pare and core 
 
 wake 'em up, tell them to take Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla. Yours, Freeman N. Bixby. 
 
 Biliousness, 
 
 A bitter taste, breath offen&ive, tongue 
 coated, sick headache, drowsiness, dizzi- 
 ness, loss of appetite. This condition, 
 commonly termed biliousness, undoubt- 
 edly occurs of tener in the spring than at 
 any other season. If this condition is 
 allowed to continue imheeded, serious 
 consequences may follow. By prompt 
 action and mild means a fever may bo 
 avoided, or the sowing of seed for a pre- 
 mature death may be prevented. Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla coiii bines tlie best anti-bil- 
 ious remedies of the vegetable kingdom, 
 and in such proportion as to derive the 
 full medicinal effects with the least dis- 
 turbance to the whole system. 
 
 In fact this preparation is so well bal- 
 anced in its actions upon the alimentary 
 canal, the liver, the kidneys, the stomach, 
 the bowels and the circulation of the 
 blood, that it brings about a healthy ac- 
 tion of the entire human organism, that 
 can hardly be credited by those who have 
 not seen the remarkable results that have 
 followed its use. If the Sarsaparilla does 
 not prove sufficiently laxative, take a few 
 doses of Hood's Vegetable Pills. It is 
 well in all cases of biliousness to take 
 these pills in connection with the Sarsar 
 parilla for the first ten days. That dull, 
 sleepy, sick feeling can be wholly over- 
 come by the use of these remedies. Will 
 you give them a trial and be yourself 
 again?

 dollars. Prepared only by C. I. Hood &

 Diphtheria. 
 
 We cannot speak too strongly of the 
 importance of securing the services of the 
 best physician at your conunand when- 
 ever the symptoms of this disease show 
 themselves. Promptness may save the 
 life of the patient. The horrible prostra-

 ating properties of Hood's Sarsaparilla, 
 which vitalizes and enriches the blood, 
 neutralizes and eradicates the poisoned 
 matter from it, giving to the sufferer 
 an appetite and the life and vigor of ro- 
 bust health. We honestly believe that 
 every person recovering from Diphtheria

 (sometimes called grits), while hot stir in 
 a large spoonful of butter; add four eggs 
 and one pint of milk, one-half pint yellow 
 corn meal ; the batter should be as thick 
 as a rich boiled custard, if thicker add a 
 little more milk. Bake in a hot oven. 
 Avoid syrups and sweets and take Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla. 
 
 Saratoga Corn Cake, 
 
 Four eggs, one-half lb. of sugar, mixed 
 together with a wire beater; melt one- 
 fourth lb. of butter and add to it; one qt. 
 of milk, one-half oz. of baking soda (dis- 
 solved in the milk) and a little salt;

 erate oven. A carefully prepared con- 
 centrated extract— Hood's Sarsaparilla.

 quart of warm water, one teaspoonful of

 Mills and Stores, 
 
 It will be observed that those persons 
 employed in mills and stores, and exclud- 
 ed from the light of the sun, breathing an 
 atmosphere not always pure, are particu- 
 larly subject to a pale, waxy, blanched, 
 bloodless countenance, and often suffer 
 from extreme weariness, irregular state 
 of the bowels, general debility, mental 
 depression, loss of sleep and want of 
 appetite which would be largely relieved 
 by a life of " out-door" exercise; but this 
 being out of the question, the next best 
 thing is Hood's Sarsaparilla, which sup- 
 plies to the blood and to all the fmictions 
 of the body a degree of vital force which 
 has not been produced by any other medi- 
 cme. We write with a degree of positive 
 assurance which is warranted by a larg^ 
 observation of actual facts that fully justi- 
 fy thiSaStatement. This accounts in part 
 for the great and growing popularity of 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla among the merchants, 
 the clerks and the operatives in the mills 
 of our city. A physician once said to us— 
 " If you could bottle country air and rest, 
 your fortune Avould be assured." Of 
 course that would be impossible, but we 
 have the next thing to it in Hood's Sarsa- 
 parilla, a remedy that restores and reno- 
 vates every part of the system, vitalizes, 
 purifies and enriches the blood, gives 
 tone and vigor to the stomach, and im- 
 parts new life and energy to all the func- 
 tions of the body. Hood's Sarsaparilla is 
 sold by all druggists.* Price $1 , or 6 bottles 
 for $5. 
 
 A Neiv Beparttire, 
 
 "One good result of the hard times a few 
 years ago, was the bringing into life an 
 article in proprietary medicine, which gave 
 to every purchaser a full equivalent for 
 his money. The rule of this class of 
 medicines is from 10 to 25 doses for $1, 
 the best only reaching 40. Messrs. Hood 
 & Co. took a new departure and in the 
 article now so well and favorably known 
 as Hood's Sarsaparilla, they gave the 
 unprecedented quantity of 100 doses for 
 %\. These facts commend this remedy to 
 the consideration of the sick, also of the 
 well, for they are liable to be sick."— 
 Boston Weekly Joxirnal. 
 
 An Alderman says Hood's Sarsaparilla is the' strongest. 
 
Creamy Sauce, 
 
 One-half cup of butter, one cup of pow- 
 dered sugar, four tablespoonfuls of cream 
 or milk, four tablespoonfuls of wine, or in 
 place of wine, one teaspoonful of vanilla 
 and three additional leaspoonfuls of milk 
 or cream; beat the butter to a cream, add 
 sugar gradually, then wine gradually and 
 milk gradually. Place the bowl in which 
 the sauce has been made in a basin of 
 boiling water; stir a few minutes until it 
 looks smooth and it is ready to serve.

 cold water, free from lumps, stir it into 
 the sauce and beat the Avhole constantly 
 until hot enough to thicken; add nutmeg. 
 This is proper for all boiled puddings,

 Dyspepsia 
 
 Is occasioned by over-loading the 
 stomach, eating indigestible food, or 
 other causes too numerous to mention. 
 It is manifested by a painful sense of 
 fulness after eating, more or less disten- 
 sion from wind or gas, heartburn, nausea, 
 vomiting, looseness of the bowels or con- 
 stipation. Succeeding these sjniptoms 
 are loss of appetite, coating of the tongue, 
 an unpleasant taste, and nervous irrita- 
 bility, great languor and incapacity for 
 exertion, accompanied in some cases by 
 an almost irresistible drowsiness. If you 
 are a sufferer, and have tried everything 
 without benefit till your patience and 
 faith are both exhausted, do not give up 
 till you have given Hood's Sarsaparilla a 
 trial. It has brought happiness to many 
 a sufferer and you cannot tell that it will 
 not to you. It astonishes those who have 
 used Hood's Sarsaparilla to see what a 
 toning effect it has upon the digestive 
 apparatus. It is accomplished by the 
 mildest and most direct action upon those 
 parts which are exhausted by too much 
 labor or too much abuse. It seems to 
 throw protection around them for a time 
 till its effects upon the general constitu- 
 tion can be realized, the whole system 
 built up and a permanent cure is accom- 
 plished. 
 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla is prepared only by 
 C. I. Hood & Co., apothecaries, Lowell, 
 Mass. Trice one dollar per bottle, or six 
 bottles for five dollars. Sold by druggists. 
 Dyspepsia does not get well of itself. 
 It requires careful, persistent attention. 
 
 I have suffered constantly from sick 
 headache and dyspepsia. Before I had 
 taken two bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla 
 I was much better. I am rarely troubled 
 with headache now, and my food does 
 not distress me as it did. Very truly 
 yours, Helen J. Morrill, 133 Cross Street, 
 Lowell, Mass. 
 
 * * * * Last December I used Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla for dyspepsia and general

boil them in thin clarihecl sugar, let them 
 imbibe the sugar, and be careful to pre- 
 serve their form; make a marmalade with 
 some other apples, adding to it four oz,

 upon the kidneys, liver and bowels. 
 
 Tapioca Cup Pudding. 
 
 This is very light and delicate for in- 
 valids. An even tablespoonful of tapioca, 
 soaked for two hours in nearly a cup of 
 new milk, stir into this the yolk of a fresh 
 egg, a little sugar, a grain ot salt, and 
 bake it in a cup for 15 minutes. A little

 ^^ Awful Distress.' ' 
 
 Dear Sirs— I have been troubled wich 
 dyspepsia, indigestion and debility for 
 years. Nothing reached my case till I 
 found Hood's Sarsaparilla. Six bottles 
 cured me. Now I can eat anything with- 
 out that awlul distress ; have a tremend- 
 ous appetite, and am free from that tired 
 feeling. I cannot praise your Sarsaparilla 
 too highly. Very truly yours, Park Patten, 
 Gardiner, Me. 
 
 CatarrJi. 
 
 On the strength of the following facts 
 we feel justified in callmgthe attention cf 
 all who suHer from this disagreeable dis- 
 ease (whether it be a recent or chronic 
 case) and suggest that they give Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla a trial. It is only fair and 
 reasonable to expect that it will do again 
 what it has already done. 
 
 Smell Lost. A city offlcial met us on 
 the street one day with the question, 
 " Will Hood's Sarsaparilla cure catarrh?" 
 He went on to say, "I know a case in a 
 neighboring town of a lady who had 
 catarrh so for years that it finally de- 
 stroyed her sense of smell. She took 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla and it restored her 
 sense of smell." 
 
 Copious Dischakge. A mother said 
 tons a few days since, "Did you know 
 that Hood's Sarsaparilla was a great 
 remedy for catarrh. Yvliy, my boy had it 
 so I could hardly keep him in clean hand- 
 kerchiefs. He has taken one bottle, and 
 that tei'rible amount of discharge has 
 stopped." 
 
 I have had catarrh for years. Last April 
 the dropping in my throat became un- 
 usually troublesome, and I became some- 
 what alarmed, as it seemed to afJcct my 
 right lung. I took two bottles cf Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla, and I think it has cured mc. 
 INIy appetite, which was variable before, is 
 first-rate now. Very truly yours, Charles 
 H. GrifQn, 69 Smnmer Street, Lowell, 
 JNIass.

 Neuralgia, 
 
 As most neuralgic pains are doubtless 
 the result of a low condition of the sys- 
 tem or a disordered state of the blood. 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla is a very excellent 
 medicine to take at all times. If its use 
 is persisted in till the system is built up, 
 the blood purified, and its circulation re- 
 stored to a healthy condition, the cause 
 being removed, the disease w'ill usually 
 disappear. \Ve cannot speak too enthu- 
 siastically of the wonderful power of 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla in the cure of head- 
 ache and other pains that are generally 
 classed under the head of neuralgia, be- 
 cause so many cures have been reported 
 to us and so much happiness expressed by 
 those who have been permanently cured 
 by using Hood's Sarsaparilla. 
 
 "Writing of Neuralgia, Piomberg says of 
 the pain characteristic of it: "It seems 
 as if pain Avere the prayer of the nerve 
 for healthy blood." Hood's Sarsaparilla

 ing and enriching the blood and making 
 it healthy. Prepared only by C. I. Hood

 Skill vs. Ignorance, 
 
 " As a perfect pharmaceutical prepara- 
 tion, we are told that Hood's Sarsaparilla 
 surpasses any proprietary article upon 
 the market. Even to our inexperienced 
 eye we see positive indications of the 
 truth of the foregoing. A glance at the 
 article shows the scrupulous neatness and 
 care with which the detail of its manu- 
 facture and putting up must be conduct- 
 ed. These points are of importance in 
 any business, but in the manipulations of 
 remedies for the relief of human suffer- 
 ing they become of supreme importance, 
 and only such medicines arc worthy 
 public confidence."— i/arf/o?-(Z Cmirant. 
 
 A gentleman of unquestionable re- 
 liabilitj^ gives us the following history of 
 a case: " A lady was so reduced by dis- 
 ease that her blood had begun to turn to 
 Avater, her feet and legs swelled, her 
 tongue, mouth and throat were so raw that 
 she could only take milk and water. In 
 three days after taking Hood's Sarsapa- 
 rilla her tongue, mouth and throat were 
 nearly well. In a few months she gained 
 from one hundred and twelve to one hun- 
 dred and forty pounds. Her husband 
 was opposed to her taking a proprietary 
 medicine and it was smuggled to her 
 under the name of ' the Doctor's medi- 
 cine.' He has since recommended it." 
 
 Eeader, do you think this a big story? 
 We give you our word of honor that it is 
 true. Knowing this, do you wonder at 
 our confidence in the future of Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla? 
 
 Another case— "A young man had a 
 terrible sore on his neck, which used him 
 up so thoroughly that his recovery was 
 doubtful. Hood's Sarsaparilla cured

 Scrofula, 
 
 Probably no form of disease is so gen- 
 erally distributed among our population 
 as scrofula, hence a remedy that destroys 
 the germs of this disease, and when 
 settled, has the power to eradicate it, 
 must be appreciated by the afflicted. 
 The remarkable cures of children, of 
 those of middle age, and of those late in 
 life, as demonstrated by testimonials, 
 prove that Hood's Sarsaparilla contains 
 remedial agents that positively eradicate 
 scrofula from the blood. The terrible 
 sufferings of those afflicted by scrofulous 
 sores cannot be understood by others, 
 and the intensity of their gratitude to a 
 remedy that cures them, may astonish a 
 Avcll person. 
 
 Dear Sirs— I think the cure of Mrs. 
 Cole of scrofulous sores, by Hood's Sarsa- 
 parilla, a miracle. I could not believe it 
 till I received a letter from her saying it 
 was true. Her statement docs not ex- 
 aggerate her terrible sufferings. Wlien 
 she went to Wcstfordwe didn't think it 
 possible for her to get well. I know 
 several who have used Hood's Sarsapa- 
 rilla with excellent results. With best 
 wishes for the success of your good medi- 
 cine, I am yours truly, Mrs. Sarah J.

 Cancer in the Stomach. 
 
 Dear Sirs— Six years ago last April my 
 mother, Mrs. Benj. Clement, of Warner, 
 N. n., gave up work, on account of cancer 
 in the stomach. Food caused intense 
 distress, and she took only enough 
 nourishment to sustain life. We spared 
 no expense to find relief. We paid out 
 more than C^OO, without avail. At last 
 we found Hood's Sarsaparilla. When she 
 had taken one bottle she wrote me, "I 
 can eat anything I desire without being 
 distressed. It is surprising to see the 
 good it has done me." These are tlie 
 facts as short as I can give them. She 
 has taken five bottles. Very truly yours,

 The Wonderful 
 
 Power of Hood's Sarsaparilla in eradi- 
 eating every form of scrofula has been 
 so clearly and fully demonstrated that it 
 leaves no shadow of doubt about its be- 
 ing the greatest medical discovery of this 
 generation. 
 
 Scrofulous sores, or ulcers, covering 
 large portions of the body, have yielded 
 to the wonderful purifying effects of 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla when all other means 
 had totally failed to reach the disease. 
 
 Scrofulous ulceration of the eyelids, 
 wliich is known to all as one of the most 
 obstinate forms to cure, which this uni- 
 versal taint in the blood frequently as- 
 sumes, has also repeatedly demonstrated 
 the astonishing power of Hood's Sarsa- 
 parilla, in thoroughly eradicating this 
 poisonous matter from the blood. 
 
 Scrofulous bunches on the neck and 
 face are indications of a need of a 
 a tliorough cleansing of the blood. Even 
 if they do not give trouble at present, 
 they may produce serious results, and no 
 one can afl'ord to pass the admonition 
 without acting wisely. ^ 
 
 No remedy has been so successful as 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla, in reducing these 
 bunches and thoroughly cleansing the 
 whole system of the pernicious effects of 
 this type of scrofula. 
 
 Ten Years, 
 
 " For ten years I suffered from scrofu- 
 lous sores, which reduced me to a helpless 
 condition. I cannot refrain from ex- 
 pressing my gratitude for the permanent 
 cure Hood's Sarsaparilla effected m my 
 case nearly two years ago, when my 
 physicians gave me up. I have recom- 
 mended your Sarsaparilla to more than a 
 tliousand cases, and my faith in its in- 
 vincibility in curing scrofula has become 
 absolute by the wonderful cures it has 
 effected aside from my own. I trust you 
 will not be slow in making the merits of 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla known everywhere, 
 for it is a duty you owe to mankind. 
 With best wishes, I remain very truly 
 yours, Sarah C. Whittier, Warner, N. H."

 A Great V^lctory. 
 
 Below is given another statement 
 showing the wonderful power Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla lias over scrofula : 
 
 "In the winter of 1879 I was attacked 
 with scrofula, in one of its most 
 aggravating forms. At one time I had 
 no less than thirteen large abscesses 
 over and around my neck and throat, 
 continually exuding an offensive mass 
 of bloody matter, disgusting to behold, 
 and almost intolerable to endure. It is 
 impossible to fully describe my suffer- 
 ings, as the case was complicated with 
 
 CHRONIC CATARRH. 
 
 After three years of constant misery, 
 having been treated by three physi- 
 cians, I was worse than ever. At 
 last, upon the recommendation of 
 W. J. Iluutley, druggist, of Lockport, I 
 was induced to try Hood's Sarsaparilla. 
 And now, after having taken twelve 
 bottles, within the last twelve months, 
 the scrofulous eruptions have entirely 
 ceased, and the abscesses have all 
 disappeared, except the unsightly scars, 
 which are daily becoming 'smaller by 
 degrees, and beautifully less.' I do not 
 know what it may have done for others, 
 but I do know tliat in my case. Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla has proved an effective 
 specific indeed. As an evidence of my 
 gratitude, I send you these facts 
 unsolicited, and I am ready to verify 
 the authenticity of this cure, by personal 
 correspondence with nny wlio doubt it." 
 Chas. a. Egberts, East Wilson, N. Y. 
 
 FULLY CORROBORATED. 
 
 Being fully conversant with the facts 
 in the case, the following statement from 
 a well-known druggist, must convince 
 even the most skeptical of the entire 
 truth of the foregoing letter : 
 
 ' • The testimonial which you have from 
 Charles A. Koberts is a good and reliable 
 one. He began taking Hood's Sarsapa- 
 rilla for scrofulous ulcers by my advice, 
 and when he had taken five or six 
 bottles the ulcers had entirely disap- 
 peared. But he continued till he had 
 taken twelve bottles, and stands to-day 
 a well man. He stopped taking it 
 about three or four months ago, and I 
 was fearf'Ul that the ulcers would reap- 
 
 pear, but they have not, and the case 
 is certainly a great victory for Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla. This great medicine now 
 outsells all other blood purifiers adver- 
 tised in this city." W. J. Huntley, 
 Druggist, Lockport, N. Y. 
 
 Improved at Once. 
 
 "My youngest son has always been 
 troubled with humor. He had sores 
 in his head discharging from his ears, 
 and a running sore on the back of his 
 ear for two years"; his eyelids would 
 fester and ulcerate, discharging so that 
 I was obliged t(rwash them open every 
 morning, his eyelashes nearly all com- 
 ing out. We were unable to find any- 
 thing that had the least effect upon 
 him till last spring, when we gave him 
 two bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla. 
 His appetite improved at once. The 
 back of his ear healed up without a 
 scar, and there has not been a sore 
 in his head since." Mrs. N. C. San- 
 born, Lowell, Mass. 
 
 Sight and Hearing. 
 
 F, K. McCully, Newark, N. J., sends 
 an account of a girl nine years old 
 troubled with blood disorder so that 
 both sight and hearing were affected. 
 She was admitted to a hospital. Her 
 mother read in Hood's Cook Book of 
 remarkable cures by Hood's Sarsapa- 
 rilla, and decided to try the medicine. 
 After using five bottles her sight and 
 hearing re'turned. The cure is regarded 
 as wonderful. 
 
 Lanced Ten Titnes. 
 
 "My little girl was sorely afflicted 
 with scrofula till she was twenty-six 
 months old, when we commenced giving 
 her Hood's Sarsaparilla. So virulent 
 was the disease that the doctor had 
 lanced her neck ten times. When we 
 began to give her Hood's Sarsaparilla, 
 there was a very large bunch on her 
 little face. This we expected to open 
 with a lancet ; but to our surprise the 
 bmich began to shrink under the influence 
 of Hood's Sarsaparilla, and now it has 
 entirely disappeared. Baby is in good 
 flesh, sores all gone, her appetite is 
 good, and she seems as well as any child."

 Another Boy Cured. 
 
 James Burns, 22 George Street, Lowell, 
 Mass., had a son very severely afflicted. 
 On his head were two of the most 
 horrid sores ever seen, reaching from 
 ear to ear, and streaming with cor- 
 ruption. An ulcer on his leg w\as so 
 large and raw that the boy could not 
 get his boots on. In this awful con- 
 dition, with nine running sores, the 
 father tried Hood's Sarsaparilla. The 
 first bottle only dried the running a 
 little. Four bottles healed all the sores 
 but one on his breast, -which soon after 
 disappeared, and the boy was soon at 
 school again, apparently as well as ever* 
 
 Scrofula front Infancy. 
 
 " I have been afflicted with cancerous 
 and scrofulous huuKu- from infancy. 
 My mother, sister and brother died 
 of this terrible disease. During the 
 past thirteen years I have taken hun- 
 dreds of dollars' worth of medicines, 
 but received no benefit whatever till I 
 used Hood's Sarsaparilla. This was so 
 highly recommended, that I gave it a 
 trial. Before I had taken the first 
 bottle I found I was improving, I 
 have now taken several bottles. It is 
 working a most remarkable cure, and 
 I heartily recommend it as the best 
 Sarsaparilla and blood purifier." H. J. 
 Stearns, Willimantic, Conn. 
 
 Scrofulous Swellings. 
 
 Joseph Dunphy, 214 Central Street, 
 Lowell, Mass., had swellings and lumps 
 on his neck and face, w^liicli various 
 pastes, ointments, and medicines failed 
 to stop. A shopmate, whose wife had 
 been cured of a sore on her arm by 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla, recommended the 
 medicine, and he bought a bottle. In 
 three days there was a change in the 
 eruptions, they soon began to subside, 
 and five bottles effected a complete 
 cure, leaving the skin smooth and fair, 
 and putting him in good condition. 
 
 Mrs, J. McClure, Eevere, Mass,, had 
 a scrofulous- humor for seven years, 
 and her hands and wrists were fre- 
 quently covered with sores. Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla cured her, and she believes 
 ft to be an honest medicine. 
 
 Large Running Sores. 
 
 Mr. Albert Estes, whose statement 
 follows, has been for many years em- 
 ployed by J. W. Bennett, Esq., a leading 
 contractor and builder of Lowell, and 
 is well-known as a reliable man : 
 
 "From boyhood I have been troubled 
 with scrofula or salt rheum humor, which 
 manifested itself in various disagreeable ■; 
 forms. I had sores on different parts of 
 my body, and at one time I had a large 
 bunch come in my neck, which developed 
 into a running sore and troubled me for a 
 long time. The most serious affection, 
 however, appeared about three years ago, 
 on my leg between the knee and ankle. 
 From an injury to the skin, which was 
 comparatively slight, there grew, as the 
 result of a cold and humor, a running sore, 
 which became worse and spread till at 
 one time it covered a idace on my leg 
 fully six inches long by three or four 
 inches wide, I was obliged to keep it 
 bandaged constantly, and when I changed 
 the bandages every night, it caused a 
 
 SEVERE BURNING SENSATION, 
 
 The sore was also very sensitive, and 
 when at work a slight touch would 
 cause it to bleed, and pain intensely. 
 When I had suffered in this way about a 
 year, I happened to be reading of the 
 cures Hood's Sarsaparilla had effected in 
 cases similar to mine, and I decided to 
 give It a trial. In connection with the 
 Sarsaparilla, I used Hood's Olive Oint- 
 ment for the purpose of cooling and 
 soothing the sore, and it served its pur- 
 pose admirably. The effects of the Sar- 
 saparilla wei'e also soon apparent. The 
 sore began to grow less, and in a few 
 months had entirely healed, leaving a 
 large scar which I suppose I shall always 
 have upon me. My blood seems to have 
 been thoroughly purified, as I have not 
 been troubled by the humor in any way 
 since, though before I began taking 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla I was seldom free 
 from it in some form, I have recommen- 
 ded Hood's Sarsaparilla to other people 
 frequently, and do now recommend it to 
 every one troubled with scrofula or salt 
 rheum, or any in need of a medicine to 
 purify the blood," Albert Estes, 28 
 East Pine Street, Lowell, Mass,

 Varicose Ulcer. 
 
 To the Public and Affl,icted: 
 
 " I wish t(i) in;ike a statement in regard 
 to Hood's Sarsaparilla and tlie vast good 
 it has done me. Some ten or twelve years 
 ago my leg, the veins in which had been 
 in a varicose condition, broke out in an 
 ulcer, which soon grew to be as large 
 round as a silver dollar. I consulted sev- 
 eral physicians about it. Some of them 
 helped me somewhat, but none perma- 
 nently. The ulcer would sometimes heal 
 over and then would break out again. 
 I tried everything I could hear of, but 
 to no good. As will readily be under- 
 stood, it gave me great trouble and pain 
 
 FOR ELEVEN LONG YEAltS ! 
 
 In July, 1883, the ulcer broke out worse 
 than ever, and it got to be about three 
 inches in diameter, on the shin bone about 
 eight inches from the ankle joint, and so 
 deep that the bone could be seen. The 
 skin came off all around the leg, from 
 the ankle joint up to my knee, and my 
 leg was so sore that when I took off the 
 cloths the blood would start out like drops 
 of sweat, causing intense pain almost 
 beyond endurance. I grew so nervous 
 that I could scarcely write my name, and 
 I had to give up business. In May, 1884, 
 I was persuaded to try Hood's Sarsapa- 
 rilla by Mr. A. A. Pillsbury, who had 
 been cured by this medicine of catarrh 
 and varicose leg. So, May 23, 1884, I got 
 my first bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla. 
 Soon after I began taking it I noticed 
 improvement in the ulcer, and decrease 
 of the pain. I was thus encouraged to 
 continue, and when I had taken four 
 bottles, in September, my leg was all 
 healed up and 
 
 ENTIRELY CURED. 
 
 On the first of October I took off the ban- 
 dage, and have not had on any since; and 
 my leg is as sound as any man's. I had 
 also suffered severely with catarrh, hav- 
 ing the disagreeable droppings in my 
 throat, and that is perfectly cured. Of 
 course I praise Hood's Sarsaparilla wher- 
 ever I go. It has done wonders for me, 
 and I think there is nothing like it for 
 varicose ulcers or sores. For confirma- 
 tion of this statement I refer to the 
 following parties who have known of 
 
 my case for eleven years : F. A, 
 Booth, custom mill; TV. P. Davis, ma- 
 chinist ; E. E. Bond, saw, stave and head- 
 ing mill ; C. S. Chambers, general store 
 and postmaster ; A. H. Fairchild, mill- 
 wright ; A. D. Martin and L. H. Hunting- 
 ton, farmers,— all in North Bloomfield; 
 also to John Ilarnish, postmaster ; Dut- 
 ton & Allen, druggists; S. Ilurd, clothier ; 
 George McBride, harnesses; James 
 Southgate, jeweler; William Brayton, 
 furniture, and others in Honeoye Falls. 
 Many people in this vicinity are using 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla with satisfactory 
 results." Wallace Buck, Justice of 
 the Peace, Box 31, North Bloomfield, 
 Ontario County, N. Y. 
 
 Further Corroboration. 
 
 " We know that Mr. Wallace Buck has 
 been troubled with a severe varicose 
 ulcer for several years, and has been 
 cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla. We re- 
 gard him a thoroughly reliable man, and 
 the above is a truthful statement of his 
 case." DuTTON & Allen, Druggists, 
 Honeoye Falls, N. Y. 
 
 Varicose Veins and Humor. 
 
 " This certifies that I have been 
 troubled with varicose veins and a scrof- 
 ulous humor for the past twelve or 
 fifteen years — at times so severely as to 
 compel me to use a crutch, or to abstain 
 from business entirely. Upon the rec- 
 ommendation of one of my neighbors, I 
 commenced using Hood's Sarsaparilla, 
 and have used two bottles and a half of 
 it. My leg is entirely healed, I gain 
 daily in strength, and have at all times a 
 good appetite. I can cheerfully recom- 
 mend it to any one who is suffering as I 
 was." C. M. French, Franklin, N. II. 
 
 Scrofulous Sores. 
 
 C. A. Arnold, Arnold, Me., for seven 
 years, spring and fall, had scrofulous 
 sores on his legs ; and for two years 
 was not free from them at all. lie began 
 taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, and before 
 he had taken two bottles the sores healed 
 and the humor left him.

 Glandular Swellings. 
 
 A peculiar form of scrofula is swelling 
 of the glands of the neck, often forming 
 large hunches, which are very disagree- 
 ahie and unsightly. These hunches ac. 
 cumulate a quantity of foul matter, and 
 have a weakening and depressing effect 
 upon the general liealth. We give below 
 a statement from a lady who suffered 
 from an affection of this kind and was 
 greatly benefited by Hood's Sarsaparilla. 
 
 "Hood's Sarsaparilla has done for me 
 what tlie best medical treatment in this 
 vicinity has failed to accomplish. My 
 disease was an enlargement of the glands 
 of my neck. The gland back of my left 
 ear was swollen as large as a hen's egg, 
 and the glands oh my neck and collar 
 bone were also swollen to about the 
 same size. I doctored and suffered for 
 eighteen long months, and could find no 
 relief in anything I tried. My 
 
 WHOLE GLANDULAR SYSTEM 
 
 seemed affected. 1 read in a book 
 that similar cases had been cured 
 by Hood's Sarsaparilla, and I decided to 
 try it. I almost immediately found relief, 
 and having now taken five bottles of 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla, I believe there is 
 nothing equal to it for diseases of this 
 kind. 1 have also used three boxes of 
 Hood's Vegetable Pills and Hood's Olive 
 Ointment with good results. 1 am now 
 able to do my work, something I have 
 not done for five years. The swelling of 
 the glands has been reduced over lialf, 
 and I intend to keep on taking the medi- 
 cine till it is entirely gone. My general 
 health has never been better than now. 
 I most heartily recommend Hood's Sar- 
 saparilla to all who may be suffering. 
 It has certainly done me great deal of 
 good." Mrs. William McDonald, 
 94 North Street, Wooster, Ohio. 
 
 A Remarkable Effect. 
 
 "Three years ago my wife had a 
 running sore break out on both sides 
 of her left ankle, which soon grew so 
 bad that she could not use her left 
 foot ; and to move about the house 
 she was compelled to use a chair and 
 cane. It caused her intense suffering. 
 She tried five doctors in this section. 
 
 but none of them did her a particle of 
 good. Finally she gave a Cincinnati 
 doctor six months trial, and he did 
 her no good whatever. Then I saw 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla advertised for 
 scrofula, and my wife decided to try it. 
 The first bottle had a remarkable 
 effect. She put aside the chair and 
 cane ; the sores began to heal, and 
 her health was greatly benefited." 
 W. H. Van Aschen, Miamisburg, Ohio. 
 
 As a Last Resort. 
 
 One of the most wonderful cures of 
 scrofula on record is that of the little 
 daughter of INIr. M. J. Quinn, No. 285 
 First Street, Albany, N. Y. She was 
 afflicted with scrofula from birth, and 
 physicians said it would be better for 
 her if she were dead. Her father 
 says : " She had thirteen running sores 
 on her body, besides being absolutely 
 blind for months. She lost the use of 
 her limbs, and could not walk ; in 
 fact, was a mere skeleton, Avasting 
 away. The smell from the sores was 
 terrible. Seeing in a newspaper some 
 cases of. scrofula cured by Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla, 1 said to myself, ' I will 
 try a bottle as a last resort.' When 
 she had taken the first half bottle 1 
 could see a change in her, and when 
 the whole bottle was taken the ab- 
 scesses almost entirely healed, with the 
 aid of Hood's Olive Ointment, which I 
 must say is the finest I ever used. I 
 kept on giving her Hood's Sarsapa- 
 rilla, till now she is well and healthy. 
 She has a splendid appetite. The n igh- 
 bors don't know what to make of it." 
 
 Mrs. E. S. Caswell and Mrs. J. IIol- 
 den, neighbors, confirm Mr. Quinn's 
 statement, and consider the cure of 
 his little daughter by Hood's Sarsapa- 
 rilla the most wonderful thing that 
 has come to their knowledge. 
 
 Sores on the NecTc. 
 
 Miss Nellie Maine, Rockville, Conn., 
 had terrible scrofulous sores on her 
 neck, one being as large as her hand. 
 She had given up hope of getting well, 
 when a friend induced . her to try 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla. After taking three 
 bottles the sores entirply disappeared

 Blood Poison. 
 
 "Last summer I met with an accident 
 which resulted in poisoning the blood in 
 my left leg. By recommendation of a 
 friend, I made use of Hood's Sarsaparilla. 
 I took one bottle, and received immediate 
 relief ; the swelling on my leg reduced in 
 size, and I could walk with greater ease. 
 In all, I took four bottles, and am entirely 
 cured. I made use of Hood's Olive Oint- 
 ment in connection with Hood's Sarsapa- 
 rilla, and testify with hearty indorsement 
 to the cthcacy of both remedies. Should 
 any one inquire about my case, I shall be 
 pleased to explain it fully." R. Bkuce, 
 Maiden, Mass. 
 
 " I have used Hood's Sarsaparilla for 
 blood poison, and 1 believe it has entirely 
 cured me." W. H. EAPai, foreman 
 Beatty's Glassworks, Steubenville, Ohio. 
 
 Poisoned by Paris Green. 
 
 Mr. H. S. Clark, of Glen's Falls, N. Y., 
 says that his blood became poisoned 
 through handling Paris Green. His face 
 all broke out with pimples and blotches. 
 He tried the remedies usually kept In a 
 drug store for such cases, but found 
 nothing that did him any good till he 
 made use of Hood's Sarsaparilla, which 
 purified his blood and expelled the malig- 
 nant venom. Mr. Clark says he knows 
 by experience that Hood's Sarsaparilla 
 is the best blood purifier in the market, 
 and he sc recommends it. 
 
 Malaria. 
 
 " I have been suffering most of the 
 winter with malaria and blood poison. 
 Of course my physician helped me in a 
 measure, but nothing permanent. I was 
 urged to try Hood's Sarsaparilla, and I 
 am harpy to say that it has wholly 
 eradicated the disease ; also, I tried 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla for sick headaches, 
 and I am almost entirely free from them." 
 Mrs. F. a. Lincoln, Chicago, 111. 
 
 Performing a Duty. 
 
 "1 feel that I should be neglecting 
 my duty were I to fail in giving my testi- 
 mony as to the value of Hood's Sarsa- 
 parilla. For years I was a great suf- 
 ferer from salt rheum, catarrh, chronic 
 dyspepsia, kidney complaint and consti- 
 
 pation. I tried medical advice and sev- 
 eral kinds of medicines, all in vain. I 
 am now sixty-nine years old, and have 
 been using Hood's Sarsaparilla the past 
 ten months. I find myself much im- 
 proved in health, and know that Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla has done me more good 
 than anything 1 have ever used." L. A.

 Onr Own Folhs Talce It. 
 
 Those who are employed in connection 
 with Hood's Sarsaparilla have a remark- 
 able amount of confidence in the ])repara- 
 tion. They believe they are working in 
 the interest of a good thing, and take 
 pleasure in increasing its sale. Many 
 of our employes have taken Hood's Sar- 
 saparilla with beneficial results, and the 
 following letter, from the wife of one of 
 our travelers tells frankly the good it 
 has done in her family : " I had terrible 
 
 SICK HKADACHES, 
 
 about once a week. I sought medical 
 advice and used various medicines, but 
 nothing seemed to do me any permanent 
 good. By advice of a friend I began to 
 use Hood's Sarsaparilla, and the relief 
 Avas so marked from the very first that I 
 kept on and am now entirely free from 
 the headaches. I am not like the same 
 person, my health being improved in 
 every way. I also gave Hood's Sarsapa- 
 rilla to my little girl for 
 
 SWELLINGS IN HEB FACE AND NECK. 
 
 "We had been doctoring for them a great 
 while, and had had them lanced twice. 
 Since we began to give her Hood's Sar- 
 saparilla the swellings have disappeared, 
 and she seems an entirely different child. 
 She has a good appetite, and is gaining 
 all the time. 1 can recommend Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla to all as a safe, sure medi- 
 cine." Mks. F. E. Lord, No. 421 Gates 
 Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y. 
 
 Cramp and Colic. 
 
 " I have used Hood's Sarsaparilla for a 
 blood purifier in my family for several 
 years, and cannot speak too highly of it. 
 It has been very beneficial in cases of 
 cramp and colic, with which we have 
 been troubled in this section." J. E. 
 Collins, Bassett House, Piqua, Ohio.

 Mother and Daughter. 
 
 " I had a large ulcer on my leg, below 
 my ki)L"e, for over a year, and though I 
 took everything recommended, it did not 
 commence to heal till I began taking 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla, discarding all other 
 preparations. I now feel better in every 
 respect, and have a good appetite. I 
 have not been down stairs for eight 
 months; but now I feel so much better 
 that I will be able to do so before long. 
 I shall continue to take Hood's Sarsapa- 
 rilla till the ulcer is all healed. I have 
 great faith in the medicine, and recom- 
 mend it to every one. I have often 
 thought I should like to tell how much 
 good this medicine has done me." Mrs. 
 D. HuTCHiNS, Roscoe, Coshocton Co., O. 
 
 " The above statement is from my 
 mother. I can say that all she says of 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla is true. It certainly 
 has done her a great deal of good.'' 
 Mrs. R. J. Hooker, druggist, Roscoe, O. 
 
 Scrofu I oil s Hiinio r, 
 
 " I have been troubled with scrofulous 
 humor, and sores breaking out all over 
 my body for the last fifteen years. I 
 have taken four bottles of Hood's Sar- 
 saparilla, and it has entirely cured me. 
 I recommend it very highly to any one 
 troubled with scrofula, or auy blood 
 disease." Henry Biggs, 1819 Campbell 
 Street, Kansas City, Mo. 
 
 Bright and Healthy. 
 
 "Every spring my wife and children 
 have been troubled with scrofula, sores 
 breaking out on them in various places. 
 My little boy, three years old, has been a 
 terrible sufferer. Last spring he was 
 one mass of sores from head to feet. I 
 was advised by a friend to use Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla, and we have all taken it 
 this spring. The result is that all have 
 been cured of the scrofula, my little boy 
 being entirely free from sores, and all 
 four of my children look bright and 
 healthy as possibly can be. I have found 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla also very good for 
 catarrh, with which I have been troubled 
 since the war. I have not found any- 
 thing do me so much good as Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla. I cordially recommend it." 
 Wm. B, Atherton, Passaic City, N. J. 
 
 Saved from Blindness. 
 
 " I take great pleasure in telling what 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla has done for my 
 little boy. Six mouths ago ulcers began 
 to come on his right eye. The doctors 
 said the cause was scrofulous humor in 
 the blood. After a time he could not 
 open his eye at all; the humor grew 
 worse, and his face became sore. Then 
 his left eye began to be affected, and I 
 thought he would be entirely blind. I 
 bought a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla 
 just for a trial. What was my surprise, 
 before the bottle was all gone, his face 
 had all healed up and he could open his 
 eye just a little bit, something he had 
 not done for four months. He contiimed 
 to take it, and I am happy to say can now 
 
 SEE AS WELL, AS HE EVER DID. 
 
 He has left off the shade which he 
 wore over his eyes so long. I feel that 
 if it had not been for Hood's Sarsaparilla 
 my child Avould have been blind. I 
 cannot find words to praise it enough 
 nor to thank you for making it known. 
 I thank God that things grow to make 
 so good a medicine. My boy is nov/ six 
 years old, and every time I look at him 
 I feel that I have not praised Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla half enough. He is now 
 better than he has ever been in his life 
 before. Every word here is true, and 
 you are at liberty to use this state- 
 ment as you see fit." Mrs. Akdrew W. 
 Leonard, Middleboro, Mass. 
 
 Ittinning Sores. 
 
 " I was severely afflicted with scrofula, 
 and for over a year had two running 
 sores on my neck. I took five bottles of 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla and consider myself 
 entirely cured." C. E. Love joy, Tyler 
 Street, Lowell, Mass. 
 
 Scrofula Tumors. 
 
 " Last spring I had three large bunches 
 on my neck which my physician called 
 scrofula tumors. They were as large as 
 hen's eggs. I began taking Hood's Sar- 
 saparilla, and before I had used one 
 bottle they began to decrease, and finally 
 disappeared. I feel that I cannot say too 
 much for Hood's Sarsaparilla." Mrs. S. 
 NoRRis, Piqua, Ohio.

 One More Effort. 
 
 Hon. Edgar Thorn, of Poughkeepsie, 
 X. Y., attorney and counsellor-at-law, 
 ex-Surrogate of Dutchess County, a 
 gentleman nearly eighty years of age, 
 makes his statement below. Mr. Thorn 
 writes, he says, "not for notoriety, 
 hut because I came to the conclusion 
 that it was my duty, not only due 
 you, but also for the benefit of the 
 public, and those who might be suffer- 
 ing from similar affliction, that they 
 might be relieved thereby." Mr. Thorn 
 says : " Having received much relief 
 and benefit from Hood's Sarsaparilla, 
 I feel constrained to send you a tes- 
 timonial in its favor. For the past 
 seven or eight years I have been 
 afflicted with sores of an ulcerous form 
 on both my legs, between the knees 
 and ankles. I tried all the medicines 
 for purifying the blood I could hear 
 of, and it would make a long list if I 
 should name them. I received no relief, 
 and had made up my mind there was 
 
 KO RELIEF FOR ME. 
 
 But I saw Hood's Sarsaparilla rec- 
 ommended for the curing of sores, etc. 
 Being v-ery bad at that time, I thought 
 I would make one more effort, though 
 contrary to my best judgment. I con- 
 sequently bought a bottle of Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla. As soon as I began to 
 take it improvement began, and it 
 was perceptible from day to day. 
 When the bottle was gone I was as- 
 tonished and delighted at the change 
 which had been effected in my condi- 
 tion. I took a second bottle, and Avhen 
 I had finished, my legs were well. I 
 am now on my third bottle. There is 
 not a sore on my legs, and I can use 
 them as I choose. The doctors said 
 it would not do to heal them up, that 
 my general health would be Impaired; 
 l)ut I have gained six or seven pounds, 
 and have missed but one business day 
 from my office, which is three-quarters 
 of a mile from my house. I am now 
 on the western edge of life, being in 
 my eightieth year."

 An Honest Medicine. 
 
 " About seven years ago a scrofula 
 Inmior made its appearance on my 
 body — more particularly about my 
 hands and wrists, feet and ankles. 
 Sometimes they would be one mass of 
 sores. I became so bad that I went 
 to see a seventh-son doctor, who made 
 a specialty of treating scrofula. After 
 examining me, he said salt rheum had 
 got uppermost, and he would not 
 treat me. Two years ago I met a 
 lady from Amherst, N. H., who had 
 been benefited by the use of Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla, and advised me to try it. 
 I took that season two bottles and it 
 helped me as nothing else did. This 
 last spring I took two bottles more. 
 My humor has ceased to trouble me ; 
 my sores are all healed ; my health is 
 excellent, so that I have stopped tak- 
 ing it. I believe Hood's Sarsaparilla 
 to be just what it is recommended to 
 be — an honest medicine. I cordially 
 recommend it to the afflicted." Mrs. 
 J. McClure, Revere, Mass. 
 
 A lady friend from Amherst, N. H., 
 speaking of the .above case, says : " I 
 am very intimate with Mrs. McClure, 
 and never saw such a sight as her 
 arm was before taking Hood's Sarsa- 
 parilla. It had to be dressed very 
 often, and we all thought it would 
 have to be amputated. I feel sure her 
 life was saved by Hood's Sarsaparilla.'" 
 
 For Twenty- One Years 
 
 Thomas Bennett, 21 Coventry Street, 
 Boston, had a scrofulous bunch on his 
 leg, below the knee. For four years 
 it itched terribly, and the scratch- 
 ing caused a running sore which was 
 so troublesome that he could hardly 
 restrain himself from cutting out the 
 lump with his knife. Various remedies 
 did him no good, and he thought he 
 should carry the torment to his grave. 
 Two bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla 
 cured him, and he says he cannot say 
 too much for this medicine. 
 
 Mrs. K. F. Baker, Maiden, Mass., 
 had scrofula and canker ; wa-s greatly 
 benefited by Hood's Sarsaparilla, and 
 says : " I give you thanks for such a 
 valuable medicine."

 Intense Suffering. 
 
 A Lowell lady, who had suffered in- 
 censely from salt rheum, tells her ctory 
 clearly and concisely as follows : 
 
 " I was a great sufferer from salt rheum 
 on my limbs, for a dozen years pre- 
 vious to the time I was cured hy Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla. The skin would become 
 dry, chap, crack open, bleed, and itch 
 intensely, so that I could not help 
 scratching, which of course made them 
 worse. At the time I commenced taking 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla they were so bad 
 that they discharged, and I was obliged 
 to keep them bandaged with linen cloths. 
 The skin was drawn so tight by the heat 
 of the disease that, if I stooped over, it 
 would crack open, and actually bring 
 tears to my eyes. The first bottle bene- 
 fited me 30 much that I continued taking 
 it till I was cured. I used a box of Hood's 
 Olive Ointment, to relieve the itching. I 
 liope many others may learn the value of 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla and receive as much 
 benefit as I have." Mrs. S. S. Moody, 
 75 Broadway, Lowell, Mass. 
 
 Given Up as Incurable. 
 
 "My little four-year-old girl had a 
 powerful eruption on her face and head. 
 Under her eyes it was a regular scalding 
 red, and sore like a burn. Back of her 
 left ear we had to shave the hair close to 
 lier head. Five or six physicians and 
 two hospitals gave up her case as in- 
 curable, save that she might outgrow it. 
 When it began to maturate I became 
 alarmed. In three weeks, with Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla, the sores began to heal ; 
 two bottles made her eyes as clear as 
 ever. To-day she is as well as I am." 
 John Carey, South Boston, Mass. 
 
 Entirely Cured. 
 
 "A few years ago my son commenced 
 using Hood's Sarsaparilla for salt rheum. 
 It broke out on his hands and on the 
 calves of his legs. His hands were so 
 bad they would crack open and bleed. 
 He has taken from six to eight bot- 
 tles, and I am happy to state is en- 
 tirely cured. My wife has also been 
 taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, and has 
 received a great amount of benefit 
 from it." J. B. Stanton, Mt. Vernon, O. 
 
 A Business Man. 
 
 Mr. William Spies, of the firm of 
 Spies & Sage, Elyria, Ohio, says : " I 
 have been a great sufferer from ery- 
 sipelas and salt rheum, at times so 
 bad that my hands would crack open, 
 the ends of my fingers would bleed 
 and itch terribly ; my skin was so dry 
 it would peel off, and it caused me 
 intense suffering. I have used oint- 
 ments, salves, and various prepara- 
 tions—in fact, everything I saw adver- 
 tised I bought ; but my hands were no 
 better. The trouble was caused by 
 handling tobacco. Seeing Hood's Sar- 
 saparilla advertised, I inquired about 
 it, and . found several of my friends 
 using it. They induced me to try 
 it, and after taking a bottle and a half, 
 I was greatly pleased with the result. 
 I have now taken four bottles and am 
 entirely well." 
 
 General Health Affected. 
 
 Mr. Charles N. Adams, foreman ol 
 the Vermont Journal Company, "Wind- 
 sor, Vt., says : " For about four years 
 I have been troubled with humor, re- 
 sembling the salt rheum somewhat, 
 seriously affecting my general health, 
 and also at times getting into my 
 eyes, so much so that I was una- 
 ble to attend to my duties in the 
 office. I used Hood's Sarsaparilla, and 
 my eyes are apparently nearly cured, 
 and the humor seems about eradi- 
 cated from my system. \ am so far 
 encouraged that I shall continue the 
 use of the medicine, as I feel that it 
 will completely renovate my blood." 
 
 In Good Condition. 
 
 Mr. Isaac Packard, an old and es- 
 teemed resident of Campello, Mass., 
 writes as follows : " I have always 
 been troubled with a salt rheum. 
 Every spring it shows itself by breaking 
 out in sores, usually on my legs. I 
 find there is nothing for it like Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla. One or two bottles dry it 
 up and put me in good condition for 
 the season. I most highly recommend 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla."

 Immediate Benefit. 
 
 " For three years I was a severe 
 sufferer from dyspepsia or indigestion. 
 Almost all kinds of food distressed 
 me, and at times caused me great suf- 
 fering, particularly at night, after retir- 
 ing. Not unfrequently my distress was 
 so great that I was kept awake a 
 great part of the night. Finally I was 
 induced to try Hood's Sarsaparilla. 1 
 almost immediately began to experi- 
 ence benefit. My digestion gradually 
 improved, my food relished and did me 
 good. I could retire at night and sleep 
 soundly, without the former distress. 
 After using less than two bottles, I 
 was enabled to almost entirely discon- 
 tinue its use, my digestive powers hav- 
 ing assumed so healthy a tone. Being 
 grateful for the great good I received 
 from Hood's Sarsaparilla, I most cor- 
 dially recommend a trial of it to any 
 one suffering as I was." Emilie L. 
 Speak, Melrose Highlands, Mass. 
 
 Couldn't Eat Anything. 
 
 "A lady in Abington told me she 
 couldn't eat a thing without distress. 
 I told her if she would get a bottle 
 of Hood's Sarsaparilla I would pay for 
 it if it did n't cure her. The next 
 time I saw her (six weeks later) she 
 said she could sit down and eat a 
 hearty meal of victuals without dis- 
 tress. It was the same way with my 
 brother. He couldn't eat anything, he 
 had such pains and distress. He lost 
 fifty pounds. I don't know what he 
 did n't try ; but I do know nothing did 
 him any good till he took Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla. That not only cured him, 
 but he has regained thirty of the fifty 
 pounds. The doctor told my brother 
 to get Hood's Sarsaparilla, and if that 
 didn't cure him he knew of (nothing 
 that would. In our business on the 
 road, all the time, we come into con- 
 tact with a great many people, and I 
 venture to say that I know of more 
 than fifty cases of dyspepsia that have 
 been cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla." 
 J. M. Kaymond, Peru, Mass. 
 
 " I used Hood's Sarsaparilla and found 
 it a good thing. I was troubled with in- 
 digestion." C. A. SCHULTZ. Fostoria. O. 
 
 Has No Equal. 
 
 " I have suffered for many years very 
 much from dyspepsia. Almost all 
 kinds of food distressed me, and 
 often I felt dull and heavy, having 
 little or no ambition to do anything. 
 Not long since, in connection with 
 my daughter, who was ailing, I took 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla. "We have taken 
 nearly three bottles, and I have de- 
 rived so much benefit from its use 
 that I am glad to say I think it has 
 no equal." Mks. Mary A. Knights, 
 Charlestown, Mass. 
 
 Permanently Cured. ' 
 
 "Seriously opposed to all patent 
 medicines, it was after a great deal of 
 talk that I was persuaded to try 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla for my wife, who 
 had been troubled with indigestion and 
 debility for several years, which really 
 rendered her feeble. Finally I was in- 
 duced, faith lacking, to try one bottle 
 of Hood's Sarsaparilla. Before she had 
 taken all of this, her health commenced 
 to improve. She is now taking the 
 fourth bottle, and her health has stead- 
 ily and permanently improved. I firmly 
 believe Hood's Sarsaparilla is entitled 
 to the credit, and I most cheerfully 
 and confidently recommend it to any 
 and all sufferers." George W. Bos- 
 worth, Amherst, N. H. 
 
 WorUed Wonders. 
 
 "Hood's Sarsaparilla has worked won- 
 ders in the case of my wife, who has 
 been troubled with sick headache and 
 biliousness for years. She found that 
 within a week after taking it she felt 
 very much better, and is now entirely 
 free from those severe headaches." 
 Homer B. Nash, Pittsfield, Mass. 
 
 A later letter from Mr. Nash, says . 
 "I am still engaged in recommending 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla. It is certainly 
 doing splendid things here. I am in- 
 quired of every week in regard to it." 
 
 Can Attest Its Merits.

 For Ten Years. 
 
 " For about ten years past I have been 
 subject to costiveness, which I have 
 been in the habit of relieving by means 
 of pills, or physic in some form. This 
 course produced nothing of a permanent 
 nature, except to irritate the digestive 
 organs, and to produce an alternate con- 
 stipation and diarrhoea. Chronic indi- 
 gestion, of course, was the result of this 
 action, and oaly from those varieties of 
 food most easy of digestion could my 
 system derive any nourishment. I tried 
 physicians and various medicines, espe- 
 cially .those most advertised; but only 
 obtained the merest temporary relief. I 
 was about to join in an 
 
 UKREASONING PREJUDICE 
 
 against all medichies, when I decided 
 to give Hood's Sarsaparilla a trial. 
 The demulcent properties of Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla are such that the first 
 bottle allayed the irritation I have 
 mentioned, and, under this mollifying in- 
 fluence, my stomach gradually grew 
 healthier and stronger, till now I am 
 able to digest and assimilate all kinds 
 of food. I used two bottles according to 
 directions-; but at present take only 
 occasional doses. My profession is that 
 of a school teacher, and, since taking 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla, I have been able to 
 do my work with more vigor than ever."

 Distress After Eating. 
 
 " About a year ago my wife was troubled 
 with dyspepsia. She could not keep her 
 food down, and had that oppressed feel- 
 ing after eating. She had no appetite, 
 and was tired all the time. She tried 
 numerous medicines without being re- 
 lieved. Finally, a lady friend induced 
 her to try Hood's Sarsaparilla, and the 
 first bottle did her a great deal of good. 
 She has now taken two bottles, and can 
 eat anything she wants without having 
 that distress, and lias no trouble in re- 
 taining her food." John Battenfield, 
 Marion, Ohio.

 Indigestion. 
 
 Henry Dickson, wholesale grocer, and 
 proprietor of Dickson's Opera House, 
 Kenton, Ohio, writes : " My wife has 
 been ti-oubled with indigestion, and her 
 blood has been in a poor condition. She 
 has used several bottles of Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla, and it has been a great 
 benefit to her." 
 
 Felt Like a New Woman. 
 
 Mrs. S. S. Dimick, East Somerville, 
 Mass., had dyspepsia and sore mouth; 
 could not eat the first thing without 
 being distressed ; was failing every day, 
 and could not take care of her house or 
 her children. She was told of Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla, and after taking two bottles 
 felt like a new woman, could do her work 
 better than ever before, and is thankful 
 for the medicine. 
 
 None So Satisfactory^ 
 
 " I have been taking Hood's Sai-sa- 
 parilla for dyspepsia, from which I 
 have suffered two years. I tried many 
 other medicines, but none proved so 
 satisfactory as Hood's Sarsaparilla. I 
 recommend it to all sufferers from dys- 
 pepsia." Thomas Cook, Brush Electric 
 Light Company, New York City. 
 
 Lump in the Stomach. 
 
 " For nearly a year, by spells, I have 
 been troubled with an uncomfortable 
 feeling, like a lump in my stomach, 
 accompanied with nausea, to remove 
 which I have taken Hood's Sarsapa- 
 rilla and have been fully relieved."

 The Same Old Story. 
 
 Mrs. A. L. Fish, formerly of Chelsea, 
 Yt., now of Central City, Neb., was 
 sick five years with a complication of 
 scrofula and dyspepsia. She had no 
 appetite, and was all run down. 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla seemed to "hit the 
 spot," and less than five bottles made 
 a well woman of her. Her husband 
 says: "It's the same old story, but 
 it's just as true for all that — 'tried 
 everything and everybody without relief : 
 took Hood's Sarsaparilla and got well.'"

 Headache for Years. 
 
 Mr. S. Woodberry, the popular printer, 
 binder and ruler at No. 105 Summer 
 street, Boston, has been cured of sick 
 headache by Hood's Sai^saparilla, and 
 his wife has also been greatly benefited. 
 Read his comprehensive statement : " It 
 is with pleasure I add my testimony 
 to the many who have already spoken 
 of the immense good derived by them 
 from the use of Hood's Sarsaparilla. 
 About a year ago, my wife, not natu- 
 rally very strong, became so debilitated 
 that she weighed but 110 pounds; had 
 no appetite ; and what ^he did eat 
 distressed and troubled her a great 
 deal. I purchased a bottle of Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla, but she would not take 
 it unless I did. I did not think I 
 needed it, but to encourage her I con- 
 sented. I had been subject to sick 
 headache for years, every few weeks ; 
 at times so violent I was obliged to 
 give up work, and keep my bed for 
 the entire day. Since taking Hood's 
 Sarsapaialla, I have not lost an hour 
 from this cause. My wife's health is 
 better than it has been for years. She 
 now weighs 130 pounds, has a good 
 appetite, eats anything she wants to, 
 and feels like a new person. Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla has proved a great benefit 
 to us, and we heartily recommend it 
 to any one suffering from like causes, 
 or to any who need a blood purifier." 
 
 Constant Misery. 
 
 " I was a great sufferer from sick 
 headache and dyspepsia. There was 
 constant misery in my stomach. By 
 advice of my neighbor, Mrs. O'Eourke, 
 I made use of Hood's Sarsaparilla, 
 and I can say with truth I am free 
 from headache, and my food does not 
 distress me. I used two bottles." 
 Mrs. p. O'Gorman, Brooklyn, N. Y. 
 
 A Methodist Minister. 
 
 Said an amiable and philosophic Meth- 
 odist minister, cured of a severe dys- 
 pepsia: "Before I took Hood's Sarsa- 
 parilla I felt myself alive all over, and 
 I often used to think that, let damnation 
 be what it might, nothing could exceed 
 the horror of my creeping existence." I 
 
 Headaches and Canker. 
 
 "For several years I have suffered 
 from constant headaches, canker in my 
 mouth and pain in my stomach. For 
 a year I didn't have a good night's 
 rest. An eminent physician told me my 
 troubles were caused by canker in my 
 stomach, the bad state of my blood, and 
 debility. I believe he was correct. And 
 I am happy to tell you that Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla has cured me. I do not 
 have the headache or pain now. I tried 
 many medicines of different kinds, but 
 nothing did me any good till I got 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla. I could not have 
 worked a day last summer, had it not 
 been for this valuable medicine. When 
 I commenced taking it, I had no appe- 
 tite, and was all run down ; but it soon 
 gave me an appetite, and strength. You 
 don't know how much good it did me. 
 I have recommended it to my friends, 
 and they have been helped very much 
 by it." Mary Morse, 28 Boott Corpo- 
 ration, Lowell, Mass. 
 
 Sick Headache. 
 
 " I have been troubled with sick head- 
 ache, which seldom gave me any rest, 
 and very often caused neglect of busi- 
 ness. After trying several remedies, 1 
 took Hood's Sarsaparilla, and I can 
 truly say that in four weeks it made 
 me a new man. My head ceased to 
 ache, and my whole system is built 
 up anew, enjoying perfect health. It 
 is the best medicine I ever used, and 
 after trying others, I find it has no 
 equal." I. Barrington, 130 Bank Street, 
 New York City. 
 
 Felt the Effects at Once. 
 
 "About a year ago I commenced tak- 
 ing Hood's Sarsaparilla. I was all run 
 down, had no appetite, my food would 
 not digest, and I was troubled with 
 nervous debility. After taking the first 
 bottle I commenced to feel the effects 
 of it at once. Have now taken four 
 bottles and can say I feel like a new 
 man." J. H. McCall, Eochester, N. Y.

 A Terrible Sufferer. 
 
 One of the most severely afflicted 
 tiufferers from rheumatism we ever 
 met, is Mr. Henry T. Balcom, of Shirley, 
 Mass. He served in the army, where 
 he contracted the disease Avhich has 
 since caused him such ' terrible suffer- 
 ing. "When he returned home, he be- 
 gan to have periodical attacks of 
 rheiunatism, which gradually increp.sed 
 in severity, imtil he was obliged to 
 give up manual labor. Being a black- 
 smith by trade, and naturally a large, 
 strong man, it was a severe affliction 
 to be obliged to give up business 
 and be confined to his house. No 
 physician or remedy did him any good, 
 and in 1876 he became a helpless in- 
 valid, unable to walk, or even to 
 move a hand to help himself. Pre- 
 vious to the spring of 1883, he found 
 nothing to give him relief, although he 
 
 TRIED NEARLY EVERYTHIIS^G. 
 
 At that time his brother-in-law, Mr. 
 Josiah Corner, of Lowell, Mass., rec- 
 ommended to him Hood's Sarsaparilla, 
 and he began to take it. He says It 
 did him more good than all the other 
 medicines he had ever taken. Before 
 taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, for three 
 weeks he tried every day to get from 
 his chair across the room to his bed, 
 a distance of twelve feet, on crutches, 
 but his feeble arms and legs would 
 give out before he had accomplished 
 half the distance. Soon after taking 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla he was able to 
 walk across the room tvithout crutches, 
 and in a few months was able to walk 
 all about the house without any aid. 
 His general health, too, was greatly 
 benefited. He is still taking Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla, and confidently expects 
 that in time it will effect a complete 
 cure. As his rheumatism has afflicted 
 him twenty years, it must of neces- 
 sity take time to overcome it. 
 
 As a General Tonic. 
 
 " I have taken Hood's Sarsaparilla for 
 rheumatism, and have received great 
 benefit from it. I cheerfully recom- 
 mend it as a tonic for the general sys- 
 tem." W. BuRDSAL, Lebanon, Ohio. 
 
 Wliole System Benefited. 
 
 " I have been troubled at times with 
 rheumatism, the cause of which I think 
 I must attribute to a want of proper 
 action of my liver. Among other things, 
 I had pain and great soreness in my 
 left side. At night I could seldom lay on 
 that side. Last spring I took Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla regularly, according to the 
 directions, with an occasional dose of 
 Hood's Pills, until I used seven bottles ; 
 and it did me a great deal of good. 
 My general health has been good 
 through the summer, and I have had 
 but little trouble from rheumatism. 
 My side does not pain me, and indeed 
 I think I sleep now more on my left 
 side than on my right. I think it did 
 my whole system good." Mrs. E. A. 
 Nichols, 5 Garland Street, Boston. 
 
 Severe Rheuinatism. 
 
 Mr. W. F. Wood, the popular clerk 
 in the Ashley House, the leading hotel 
 in Bloomington, HI., was a severe 
 sufferer with rheumatism, being hardly 
 able to walk. After being cured by 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla, as stated in his 
 testimonial below, he recommended it to 
 a friend wlio also suffered from rheu- 
 matism, and he, too, was entirely cured 
 by Hood's Sarsaparilla. Mr. Wood says : 
 
 " I was troubled very much with 
 rheumatism in my hips, ankles, and 
 wrists; in fact, I could hardly walk, 
 and was confined to my bed a good 
 deal of my time. I was also very 
 bilious and suffered severely. I was 
 recommended to try Hood's Sarsapa- 
 rilla, which I did. I have now taken 
 four bottles and am perfectly well. I 
 cheerfully recommend Hood's Sarsapa- 
 rilla as one of the best blood purifiers 
 in the world." 
 
 3Iuscular Rheuinatisnt. 
 
 " I am employed in the N. D. post- 
 office in this city, as a carrier. During 
 our late wet spell, I have suffered 
 from what the doctors call muscular 
 rheumatism. I was advised to try 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla. I did so, and 
 now I believe I am entirely cured." 
 James V. A. Proudfoot, Chicago, 111.

'I'd 
 
 Superior to All Others. 
 
 We are pleased to receive the fol- 
 lowing statement from Mr. C. W. Cum- 
 mings, dealer in general merchandise 
 at Warren, N. H., and one of the most 
 widely-known and popular storekeepers 
 in his section of the State. He has 
 twice heen greatly benefited by Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla, and knows of many other 
 people who have also received benefit 
 from it. Read his statement : 
 
 "I have sold Hood's Sarsaparilla 
 and have used it myself with wonder- 
 ful results. I commenced taking it 
 four years ago for acidity of my 
 stomach and purifying my blood, and 
 its effects were such as to give per- 
 fect satisfaction. Two and a half years 
 ago I was attacked with a kidney 
 trouble, and grew so bad that I was 
 obliged to close out my business. 
 After consulting what noted physicians 
 I could find within reach, and trying 
 the various remedies recommended for 
 the trouble, I again began to take 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla. In a few months 
 I sufficiently recovered so that I again 
 engaged in business, and for nearly 
 two years past I have not lost a day 
 from sickness. I consider Hood's Sar- 
 saparilla superior to all other proprie- 
 tary medicines of its nature upon our 
 markets, being familiar with many 
 gratifying results produced from its 
 use among my own customers. Say 
 all you can in favor of this wonderful 
 remedy. The medicine will back it. 
 Its popularity and demand increase 
 every year, and I not only confidently 
 recommend Hood's Sarsaparilla from 
 my own private experience, but from 
 the good reports from many whom I 
 know to have used it." C. W. Cum- 
 MiNGS, Warren, N. H. 
 
 Could Not Bo Without It. 
 
 " I have been very much troubled 
 for the last seven or eight years with 
 a derangement of my liver and kid- 
 neys. My digestion has been bad. I 
 had a severe bad feeling or pressure 
 in my head. I also had severe bron- 
 chitis. I tried various remedies, but 
 with little or no benefit. Last year 
 I commenced the use of Hood's Sar- 
 
 saparilla. It has done me an immense 
 amount of good. My whole system 
 has been built up and strengthened, 
 my digestion improved, my head re- 
 lieved of the bad feeling, and my 
 throat relieved of the severe irritation." 
 Mary L. Peele, 25 Turner Street, 
 Salem, Mass. 
 
 Cold Feet — Pimples. 
 
 " I was sick nine or ten years with 
 difficulty of the kidneys and liver, and 
 could get nothing to do me any good. At 
 times I was unable to do my work. I had 
 cold feet nearly all the time — could not 
 keep them warm, and my body would 
 break out with fine spots. I took differ- 
 ent medicines, but could get no relief. I 
 saw Hood's Sarsaparilla advertised and 
 told my husband I would try one bottle, 
 then I could tell if there was any good in 
 it. I had taken only half of it when I 
 began to feel better, and for years I have 
 not felt as well as I do now. I do not 
 have cold feet now, and am not troubled 
 with pimples." Mrs. Fannie Mii^ler, 
 1012 Ninth Street, Harrisburg, Pa. 
 
 * Pain in the Back. 
 
 "After seeing three doctors, I was ad- 
 vised to take Hood's Sarsaparilla for a 
 pain in my back, caused by standing on 
 my feet while at my work. I think it 
 must have been trouble with my kidneys. 
 After using one bottle I felt almost well, 
 and am now taking the second bottle, 
 which I think will entirely cure me." 
 Henry J. Standte, Kansas City, Mo. 
 
 " Four years ago I commenced taking 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla for kidney complaint, 
 after enduring painful oppression in my 
 back. My case was considered hopeless, 
 as I passed blood. Two bottles of Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla cured me, and I am now 
 well. I am a farmer and am again able 
 to do all kinds of work." A. Felton, 
 Tunbridge, Vt. 
 
 Good Advice. 
 
 " I have been using Hood's Sarsaparilla 
 for indigestion, kidney and liver troubles. 
 It has greatly benefited me, and I would 
 advise any one afflicted with similar 
 troubles to give it a trial." W. H. Wait, 
 depot master, Syracuse, N. Y.

 An Engineer's Wife. 
 
 Mr. H. D. Winans, whose wife's state- 
 ment is given below, is an engineer on 
 the Michigan Central Eailroad. He says 
 that many a night, after coming home 
 from a hard day's work, he had to lose 
 most of his night's rest, caring for his 
 invalid wife. No medical attendance or 
 other medicines seemed to do her any 
 good. Bnt when she hegan to take 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla, improvement hegan 
 at once. She soon rested much better 
 and Mr. Winans has not lost a night's 
 rest since. Mrs. Winans says: 
 
 " I have been in poor health several 
 years, and have tried many medicines 
 but did not receive much of any benefit 
 from them. I was advised to try Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla, and did so. I have now 
 taken nearly three bottles and have re- 
 ceived more benefit from it than from 
 any other medicine I ever used. My 
 trouble being caused by indigestion, I 
 was very much troubled with restless- 
 ness during the night, and in the morning 
 would get up with a very tired feeling. 
 After taking only a part of the first bottle 
 I could rest well all night and feel re-^ 
 freshed when I woke up. I must say 
 that Hood's Sarsaparilla is all it is rec- 
 ommended to be." Mrs. H. D. Winaxs, 
 210 East Mason Street, Jackson, Mich. 
 
 A7i Indiana Postmaster. 
 
 "In justice to Hood's Sarsaparilla, I 
 will give a little history of what it has 
 done for my wife. For twelve years she 
 has been afflicted with a stomach trouble, 
 which at times would take different 
 shapes. Sometimes she would suffer 
 severe cramps, at other times an aching, 
 gnawing sensation. She received only 
 temporary relief from medicines, until a 
 friend induced us to try Hood's Sarsapa- 
 rilla. About Nov. 15, 1884, she began to 
 take it, weighing then only 113 pounds. 
 She has now taken three bottles, and 
 weighs 130 pounds, and she is so much 
 relieved that she feels confident of perma- 
 nent cure." Isaiah Phipps, Yockey, Ind. 
 
 Pain in the Stomach. 
 
 "Two years ago I commenced taking 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla. I had been suffer- 
 ing from a severe pain in my stomach for 
 
 a long time and had tried different kinds 
 of medicine but failed to get relief until I 
 used Hood's Sarsaparilla. It helped me 
 after taking part of a bottle. Now when 
 I feel any of the symptoms I take it and 
 it helps me." H. J. Cross, Bath, N. H. 
 
 Despaired of Being Well. 
 
 "I have been troubled with dyspepsia 
 for many years, so that at times I would 
 despair of ever being well. Medicine 
 'did not seem to do me any good. I was 
 imable to work for a number of years. 
 Two years ago Hood's Sarsaparilla was 
 recommended by a friend, and I got a 
 bottle and used it. It did me so much 
 good that I have taken several bottles, 
 which have cured the dyspepsia, and I 
 now consider myself entirely well. I 
 cannot find words strong enough to ex- 
 press satisfactorily to myself my feeling 
 in favor of Hood's Sarsaparilla. It has 
 done everything for me, and I cheerfully 
 recommend it to all needing medicine." 
 Mrs. S. M. Beede, Marblehead, Mass. 
 
 "I can certify to the above as being 
 true, and also say that other members of 
 the family are using Hood's Sarsaparilla 
 with good results." S. M. Beede. 
 
 All- Gone Feeling. 
 
 " I have been troubled with dyspepsia. 
 I had but little appetite, and what I did 
 eat distressed me, or did me little good. 
 In an hour after eating, I would experi- 
 ence a faintness; or tired, all-gone feel- 
 ing, as though I had not eaten anything. 
 My trouble, I think, was aggravated by 
 my business, which is that of a painter, 
 and from being, more or less, shut up in 
 a room with fresh paint. Last spring I 
 took Hood's Sarsaparilla — took three 
 bottles. It did me an immense amount 
 of good. It gave me an appetite, and my 
 food relished and satisfied the craving I 
 had previously experienced. It relieved 
 me of that faint, tired, all-gone feeling. 
 I have felt so nmch better since I took 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla, that I am most 
 happy to add my recommendation to the 
 many before me, of the great value of 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla." George A. Page,

 African Fever. 
 
 African fever is seldom found in this 
 country, and the remarliahle cure which 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla effected in the case 
 of Sheriff Nickerson, as described in his 
 intelligent statement below, serves to 
 further illustrate the wonderful curative 
 power which Hood's Sarsaparilla has 
 over all diseases which can be expelled 
 by strengthening the system and puri- 
 fying the blood, 
 
 "In 18C4 I contracted the fever in 
 Africa, which stuck to me closer than 
 a brother, until 1879, Up to the latter 
 date, I was sorely afflicted. I would 
 hardly get up from one attack before 
 another would take me, continuing a 
 month or more ; sometimes for two or 
 three months, as in one attack. When I 
 got out from that, I was 
 
 IfEARLY PLAYED OUT. 
 
 After this the chills left me, and I 
 was troubled with a dumb ague, as it is 
 called. This finally changed to what I 
 called a 'boo-hoo' fever — a feeling that 
 all your friends had departed, and you 
 longed to go too. During all this time I 
 was very nervous, sleeping very litt'd, 
 and then under the influence of opiates. 
 " About this time, say in 1879, a friend 
 advised my trying Hood's Sarsaparilla 
 (my weight was then 125-128 pounds ). I 
 objected, as I supposed, like other medi- 
 cines, it would only give jne temporary 
 relief, and prolong a miserable existence; 
 and, as I had already been dead, even as 
 my friends supposed, I thought it useless 
 to try. Yet, at his urgent solicitation, I 
 purcliased one bottle 
 
 AS AN EXPERIMENT, 
 
 and used it according to directions. I 
 found relief, so far as sleep was con- 
 cerned, if in no other way ; that is, I 
 took Hood's Sarsaparilla four times, 
 daily, viz.: morning, noon, at tea-time, 
 and at bed-time. The latter dose was 
 taken for sleep, and it worked hke a 
 charm. I would go to bed and sleep the 
 night through, as I had not done for 
 years. Soon I felt that my health was 
 Improving, and I continued its use for 
 several years (say fifty bottles), as a 
 purifier of the blood ; and I am happy 
 to say that, in my opinion. i;f it had not 
 
 been for Hood's Sarsaparilla 1 shouiu 
 not to-day be writing this; but have 
 shuffled off this mortal coil long ago. 
 
 "My business, that of deputy-sheriff 
 for the last fourteen years, requires me 
 to be up and about ; and now I am about, 
 as my friends can testify, early and late. 
 ]\Iy age is sixty-five years ; my weight 
 has increased thirty pounds (making it 
 158 pounds) since taking Hood's Sarsa- 
 parilla, and I am feeling as though I was 
 a well man, which I am, comparatively. 
 
 "I can fully endorse Hood's Sarsa- 
 parilla as a remedy to those who are 
 afflicted as I have been. Many of my 
 friends, as they see the change in my 
 appearance and condition, have inquired 
 what I have been using, and, when I 
 informed them Hood's Sarsaparilla, they 
 have purchased it and have used it with 
 benefit. 
 
 "In the above, I have stated my case 
 in a rambling way ; but it is all fact, as 
 any one can learn by writing to New 
 Bedford, where I am well known, not 
 only as to my present state of health, 
 but my former condition. 
 
 "Any person afflicted as I have been, 
 wishing to inquire as to any particular 
 symptom of the disease, can write to me 
 direct, as I am fully acquainted with 
 African fever, its outgoings, and its 
 incomings, having known it intimately 
 for the last fifteen years, and it was of 
 my own impoi'tation.

 Hood's Sarsaparilla. It has done won- 
 ders for me." J. W. Nickerson, 34

 Tltiqxialifled Itecoftimendation. 
 
 The well known house of George C. 
 Goodwin & Co., Boston, send us this 
 gratifying statement : "We are having 
 an excellent demand for Hood's Sarsapa- 
 rilla. We think it one of the best medi- 
 cines we ever sold for purifying the blood 
 and for spring debility, and do not hesi- 
 tate to give it our unqualified recommen- 
 dation. Our customers speak highly of it, 
 and their opinions confirm our judgment.'*

 Coughs, Etc. 
 
 It has always been admitted, regard- 
 ing the advertising of C. I. Hood & Co., 
 tliat we liave never made any claims as 
 to the curative powers of Hood's Sar- 
 saparilla, which were absurd. And 
 when we recommend Hood's Sarsa- 
 parilla as a cough remedy, some of our 
 readers may think that the claim is a 
 peculiar and improbable one. But it 
 should be remembered that sometimes 
 coughs become constitutional, and often 
 when the usual cough remedies fail to 
 reach the trouble. Hood's Sarsaparilla, 
 being a constitutional remedy, can effect 
 a complete cure. Below we give state- 
 ments from 1 eople who have been 
 cured of such affections by Hood's Sar- 
 saparilla. 
 
 " I feel it my duty to speak in recom- 
 mendation of that truly wonderful medi- 
 cine, Hood's Sarsaparilla. In reading 
 over the testimonials published, I have 
 not seen any recommending Hood's Sar- 
 saparilla as a cough and lung remedy. 
 But I can testify that it is the best 
 remedy for lung trouble that I have ever 
 taken. When all other medicines failed 
 to relieve me, when I could not sleep 
 nights, nor work days, I tried Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla as a last resort. It worked 
 like magic. I had not taken it over 
 three days when I was nearly well of 
 my cough. I kept on taking it till I had 
 used half a bottle, when my cough had 
 entirely ceased, and my lungs felt as 
 strong as ever. I keep it on hand, and 
 if I get cold or cough or feel bad in any

 " In October, 1883, I took a severe cold, 
 which produced inflammation in my bron- 
 chial tubes, lungs and chest, followed by 
 a dry, hard cough and pain or oppression 
 across my chest. I also lost my appetite 
 and suffered much for five or six weeks. 
 I then used one bottle of Hood's Sarsa- 
 parilla, which restored me to my usual 
 health. I am in my eighty-third year."

 A well-known and highly respected 
 citizen of Springfield, Ohio, sends us the 
 following : " Since my return from the 
 army I have been greatly annoyed by a 
 throat and lung trouble. A tew years

 received great benefit from it. I can 
 cheerfully recommend Hood's Sarsapa- 
 rilla." A. G. Bet-hard, Springfield, O.

Salt-Itheum, 
 
 Eczema, commonly called Salt-Eheum, 
 is a vesicular disease of the skin, cliar- 
 acterizedby watery blisters, smaller than 
 tliose of herpes and larger than ordinary 
 sudamina (a fine eruption cf vesicles on 
 the skin), such as are sometimes seen in 
 the difficulty known as " prickly heat." 
 
 Eczema is often accompanied by in- 
 tense itching, and is frequently trans- 
 formed into a pustula, or scabbing dis- 
 ease. It is generally chronic. Its treat- 
 ment is botli local and general. Hood's 
 Olive Ointment is an excellent application. 
 Hood's Sarsaparilla, used in numerous 
 extremely obstinate cases of Salt-Eheum, 
 has by its great toning, alterative and 
 purifying elfects upon the system and the 
 blood, produced the happiest results, and 
 permanently cured those who had pre- 
 viously been great sufferers. VJ^e recom- 
 mend them to your consideration and 
 trial, conCdent by past experierce that 
 they will not disappoint your most san- 
 guine expectations. Hood's Sarsaparilla 
 is prepared only by C. I. Hood & Co., 
 Lowell, ]\Iass. Price one dollar a bottle; 
 six for five dollars. Hood's Olive Oint- 
 ment, 25 cents a box. 
 
 Messrs. C. I. Hood & Co.: Three or 
 four weeks ago I found one of your Cook 
 Books ; and your Sarsaparilla was recom- 
 mended in such high terms that I have a 
 desire to try it, also the Olive Ointment. 
 I have succeeded in finding the Sarsapa- 
 rilla, but not the Ointment, so I wish you 
 to send me by mail a box. My son has a 
 humor, and if it cures him you can have 
 a testimonial that will be worth some- 
 thing. You may direct to him, Edgar F. 
 Whitman. Yours tinily, Adeline M. Whit- 
 man, Eaynham, Jlass., May 12th. 
 
 C. I. Hood & Co. : Gentlemen— * * * * 
 For seven years I have had ring-worm 
 humor and salt-rhcuni so badly that my 
 body was covered with raw sores, as also 
 •was my head and face. I have had many 
 doctors in the last seven years; none of 
 them could cure me. One of them told 
 me that I could never be cured. One day 
 my mother was in the city of Taunton and 
 found one of your Cook Books, ? 
 reading it I found many people + 
 
 to cures from the use of your Sarsaparilla 
 and Olive Ointment. I felt forced to try 
 it, although I had seen a great many 
 things advertised that never did me any 
 good. I have now taken two small bottles 
 and one large one of Sarsaparilla, and 
 used three boxes of Ointment, and I call 
 myself cured. Nothing can be seen of 
 this humor but the dim outlines of the 
 sores. I am gratefully yours, Edgar F. 
 "VVlntman, Eaynham, Mass., Aug. 7th. 
 
 Messrs. C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.: 
 Gentlemen— It gives me pleasure to say a 
 word in regard to the excellence of Hood's 
 Sarsaparilla and its curative powers. I 
 suuered with salt-rhemn eight years, and 
 found no relief in the innumerable patent 
 medicines I used, nor in the advice and 
 medicines of numerous physicians whom 
 I freely employed. I noticed in Hood's 
 Cook Book cases similar to mine cured 
 by Hood's Sarsaparilla, which inspired 
 my confidence. I gave it a trial and 
 it cm-cd me. My son was aluicled 
 with salt-rheum, also, and it cured him. 
 These are the facts, and you can use them 
 as you wish. Mrs. Carrie M. Higgins, 
 Gloucester, Mass., January l, 1881. 
 
 I sold Mrs. Higgins the Hood's Sarsa- 
 parilla referred to in her letter, and know 
 the facts are as stated by her. I am 
 pleased to state in addition to this that I 
 have sold a large amount of Hood's Sarsa- 
 parilla and it has given universal satis- 
 faction. I recommend it as the best 
 blood purifier. W. J. Maddocks, Apothe- 
 cary, 107 T»Iain Street, Gloucester, Mass., 
 Jan. 3, 1881. 
 
 Gents— Some three months since I pro- 
 cured of Mr. C. A. Smith, our druggist, a 
 bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla for my son, 
 who was at that time troubled with a 
 scrofulous humor. He had several ' 
 ugly sores between the ankle and 
 his right leg, and other ''^- 
 dif?erent parts of his b*" 
 only two bottles'" 
 sores have ''"
