The Remarkable Cures

Which have been effected by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla are sufficient proof that this medicine
does possess peculiar curative power. In the
severest cases OF scrofula or salt Iheum, when
other preparations had been powerless, the
use Of Hoods Sarsaparilla has brought about
the happiest results. The case of Miss sarah
q. Whittier, OF Lowell, Mass, who suffered
terribly from scrofula sores; that OF Charles
A. Roberts, OF East Wilson, y. Y. who had
thirteen assesses on his face and neck; tn t
of Willie Duff. of Walpole, Mass. who had hip
disease and scrofula so bad that physicians
said he could not recover. are few OF the
many instances in which wonderful cures
were effected by this medicine.

A few days ago Ben Shiplet, a farm
er of Albermarle county, Va, sent his
little girl, II years old, to neighbor-
ing farmer for milk. The failure Of
the child to return alarmed her pa
rents, and the investigation that fol-
lowed leads TO the conclusion that she
was killed by bear. The farmers in
the neighborhood started out III large
searching parties and discovered UNI
mistakable evidence of the presence
of bears in the locality where the lit
tie one was last sen. The fact that a
number of sheep were killed and u
portion of the girls clothes picked up
leaves little doubt that she was de-
