We feel that we are doing the public a
favor in calling their attention particularly
to Hoods Sarsaparilla This is not a patent
medicine, but proprietary article, possess

upon the Blood are very positive. Spring
Debility. Biliousness, Dyspepsia and all
troubles caused by impure blood readily yield

We do not as a rule allow ourselves to use
our editorial columns to speak of any remedy
we advertise, but we feel warranted in say
ing word for Hoods Sarsaparills. Sarsa-
parilla has been known as a remedial agent
for centuries, and is recognized by all
schools of practice as valuable blood puri-
fer. 1t is put up in forms of almost infinite
variety, but Messrs. Hood & Co., lowell
Mass who are thoroughly reliable pharma-
cists, have hit upon a remedy of unusual
value. Certainly they have vouchers of cures
which we know to be most extraordinary.
