RHEUMATISM usually settles in the back
or limbs, and often so completely overpow-
ers its victims that all business or labor has
TO be abandoned. Our readers should
remember that Hoods Sarsaparilla is not
recommended as "A positive specific for rheu-
matism its proprietors doubt If there is, or
can be, such a remedy. But many people
who were most severely afflicted state that
they have been positively cured by Hoods
Sarsaparilia. The disease is often the result
of impure blood, hence the power of this
great medicine over it. Its success in many
severe cases justifes us in recommending
its use to all sufferers from rheumatism.
