A Pennsylvania Railroad Man Tells of a
Remarkable Cure Of Scrofuous
HumOF Read II,

Mr.. Ruby who makes the following state
ment is well known railroad man, run
ming on the Pennsylvania Railroad between
Columbia, Penn, and Philadelphia.
81 feel that l wish TO tell what has been
done for us and our little boy by Hoods Sar-
saparllla. He is now six years Of age, and,
until short time ago, has ever since birth
been a terrible sufferer from scrofulous
humOr. Sores would appear on him and
spread until they were as large as a dollar,
and then discharge, only to he followed by
Others so that the larger part Of his body
was one mass Of sores all the time. The
scrofula was especially severe on his legs and
back of his ears and on his head His hair
was so matted that combing was sometimes
Impossible. His ears became so thin that we
could see through them, and were actually
AFRAID THEY WOULD DROP OFF.
His legs were so bad that sometimes he could
not sit down, and Il was impossible for him to
run about and play like other children. Ere
quently when he tried to walk, his leg would
crack open and the blood start from different
places. The humOr had a very offensive OdOr,
and caused intense itching, so that at night
we had to tie his hands In mittens or stockings
to prevent his scratching aud tearing himself.
We cannot tell
HOW THAT POOR BOY SUFFERED
for nearly hve years, nor how his terrible con-
dtion distressed us. We did all we could to
relieve him. Twoor three physicians agreed in
calling it scrOfulOus humOr, but did not effect
cure. We tried salves and Ointments and
other things but without benefit At last /
decided to give him Hoods Sarsaparilla as
MY DRUGGIST RECOMMENDED IT.
In about two weeks the Sarssparilla began to
have eject. The sores commenced to heal

The Anniversary of the FLOOD.

On Wednesday, June 4th, will be the 2Sth
anniversary of the great food in the LehIgh
the most destructive in our creeks and
rivers within the memory of living man.
The rain had come down in torrents, and
the poor mortals whose business prevented
them from staying in doors had reason to
believe that second food of the Noah kind
was at hand. The Lehigh river presented a
scene which we think and hope no one will
ever see again. Bridges, boats, stables,
houses, piles of lumber, logs and goods Of
almost every character was in the angry
torrent. Millions of dollars worth of pro-
perty was destroyed, and by many the 4tb
of June, 1862, will long be remembered as
day upon which many lives were lost IN
the great food and great havoc prevailed.

What Can be Added
To the above statement to make more en-
phatic the evidence Of the cleansing effect of
Hoods Sarsaparllla upon the blood9 II
would seem to be the positive duty of an who
suffer from any disease or affection caused by

have won for it the title of "the greatest
blood purifier ever discovered"
Every Confidence.
"Among the few proprietary articles I re-
commend to customers Hoods sarsaparilla
is one in which place every confidence. My
patrons seem to have the same confidence
Judging from its sale, which is more than all
