THE ROOT ur The EVIL.

To thoroughly cure scrofula it is neees-
sary to strike directly at the root OF the
evil. This is exactly what Hoods Sar>
saparille does, by acting upon the blood
thoroughly cleansing it of all impurities,
and leaving not even faint oil scrofnia
in the vital fluid. Thousands who have
been cured of scrofula by Hoods Sarsap-
rilla, testify to its wonderful blood-purify
ing qualities. Sold by all druggists.
