6crotula In one Of the most aggravating forms.
At ono time had no less than thirteen large
Assesses 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 suderings, as the casa
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years OF misery, having been treated by
three physicians. was worse than ever.
Finally. ON the Recommendation Of w. J.
Huntley. druggist. Oi Lockport, was induced
TO try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months. the scrOfulons erurtiOns have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have oil
disappeared, except the unstghtly scars. which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less.' i do not know what e may
have d0ne for others, but I d. know that ID
my case, Hoods 6arSaparillA has proved an
