The Best Spring Medicine

The peculiar requirements
of a Spring Medicine are so
pre-eminently possessed by
Hoods Sarsaparilla that is
by far the best for this purpose.
We know that by its
Peculiar Combination, Pro-
portion and Preparation it
possesses unequalled curative
powers, and by its results it
is constantly proving its posi-
tive merit.
Hoods Sarsaparilla expels
from the blood all the impuri-
ties which have accumulated
during the winter, and also
cures scrofula. salt rheum
and other severe forms of
blood disease, inherited or
acquired. By its tonic and
eliminative qualities it SO
assists the stomach and di-
gestive organs that it cures
dyspepsia. biliousness, etc.
It also gives such strength to
the whole system that it
eftectually overcomes That
Tired Feeling.
