L Old Paper.
"The count of the government money in the
treasury has been completed, and the amount,
$780, o0, 900, has been found correct to
cent? Washington despatch.
The above brief paragraph suggests how much
good even a small portion of the money which the
government has stored away in its strong vaults
would do in certain quarters. Even dollar has
in the past kept family from starving, and many
have doubtless persisted for want of only dollar.
A dollar wrongly expended has deprived many
man of reason and led to crime, while rightly ex-
pended it has conferred untold blessings.
1t was a dollar expended for Hoods Sarsapar-
lila which showed Mr. Chas. A. Roberts, of East
Wilson, N. Y, how he might be cured of his terri
BILE sufferngs. Read his straightforward state
ment. 1t may be of great Importance to you.
Gin the winter of 1879 l was attacked with
Scrofula in one of its most aggravating forms. At
one time had no less than thirteen large absces-
ses over and around my neck and throat, contin-
ually exuding an offensive mass of bloody matter,
disgusting to behold, and almost ntoerable to en-
dure. 1t is impossible to fully describe my suffer-
ings, as the case was complicated with Chronic
Catarrh. After three years of misery, having
DctH bTtdteu ny tiIte puyolCldlS, was worse
than ever. Finally, on the recommendation of W.
j. Huntley, druggist, of Lockport was induced
to try Hood Sarsaparilla. And now after having
taken twelve bottles, within the last twelve
MONTHS the scrofulous eruptiOns have entirely
ceased and the assesses have all disappeared
except the unsightly scars, which daily becom-
ing smaller by degrees, and beautifully less.' l
do not know what it may have done for others,
but do know that in my case Hoods Sarsapar-
lila has proved an effective specific indeed. AS
an evidence of my gratitude send these facts un-
ty of this cure, by personal correspondence with
any one who doubts it,
Mr. w. j. Huntley, a well known druggist of
Lockport, N. Y, says: "The statement of Charles
A. Roberts is perfectly reliable. He began taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla for scrofulous ulcers by my
advice, and when he had taken five or six bottles
the ulcers had entirely disappeared But he con-
tinued until he had taken twelve bottles, and
stands to-day well man. He stopped taking it
about three or four months ago, and was fearful
that the ulcers would reappearnbut they have not,
and the case is certainly great victory for
Hoods sarsaparilla. This great medicine now
outsells all other blood purifiers in the city.
Are not theabove statements conclusive proof
of the medicinal merits of Hoods Sarsaparilla?
This akd many similar statements show that
Hoods Sarsaparilla is one of the best medicines
ever produced for Scrofula in its most severe
forms, whether hereditary or acquired for Salt
Rheum, Boils, Pimples, Ulcers, or any affections
caused by impure blood
