A Fair Equivalent

In making purchases, we all
like to feel assured that we
have received a fair equivalent
for our money. If we get
more than our moneys worth
we are naturally more than
pleased. This is true of every
body, and it doesn't matter
what the purchase is, bonnet or
horse, dress or farm, shoes or
furniture. The feeling even
extends to the selection of
medicine. Fortunately for our
popular medicine, Hoods Sar-
saparilla, when we put it on the
market we fully appreciated this
phase of human nature, and the
household words Zone Hun
dred Doses One Dollar" so
clearly tell to everybody that
when they buy this medicine
they are getting a fair equiva-
lent for their money, that COM
petitors are not able. in fact. to
compete with Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. because no other blood
purifying medicine contains in
each bottle as much real cura-
tive medicinal strength. Others
pay larger profits to dealers,
but the consumer finds in
Hoods Sarsaparilla more health
and strengthening properties
than in any other. Hence by
insisting upon having Hoods
Sarsaparilla you are getting
more medicine for your money
than you can possibly obtain if
you allow polite persuasion to
induce you to buy any other
article. Therefore, we say in
