In many localities Hoods Sarsaparilla is
in such general demand that it is the recog
nized family medicine. People write that
:" the whole neighborhood is taking it," etc
Particularly is this true of Lowell. Mass,
where ii is made, and where more of Hood s
Sarsaparilla is sold than of any other sarsa-
parilla or blood purifier. 1t is the great
remedy for debility, scrofula, dyspepsia,
biliousness, or any disease caused by an inn
pure state or low condition of the blood.
