What is ScrofuIa

Itis that impurity In the blood, which, accumu.
latlng Ia the glands Of the neck produces un-
slightly Jumps or sWellingsi which causes painful
running sores on the arms, legs, or feeti which
deVelopes ulcers in the eyes, cars or nose, often
causing blindness or deafness; which is the origin
Of pimples, eanoerous growths or many other
manifestations usually ascribed to humOrs."
1t is more formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for scrofula combines the worst
possible features Of both. Being the most ancient
it is the most general of all diseases affections
for very few persons are entirely free from It.
How can it be cured? By taking Hoods sarsa-
pariIla, which, by the cures It has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar medicine
for this disease. For all affections Of tho blood
Hoods sarsaparilla is unequaIed, and some Of the
cures 1t has effected are really wonderful. If you
suffer from sorofula in any Of its various forms
be sure to give Hoods sarsaparilla trial.
