Suggestions In regard to

THE GRIP.
So many remedies advertised to cure the Grip
that people smile and shake their heads. Now we do
not claim Hoods Sarsaparilla TO he a Tor this
really dangerous complaint If you have the Grip
thing you do IS call reliable ply sician
But redo claim that conditions in relation to
the Grip Hoods Sarsapariila is very valuable pedi-
FIRST. AS A PREVENTIVE.
Hoods Sarsaparilla purihes the blood and builds
up the strength that the system ssfuly resists
attacks Of the Grip. This complaint and othe.
diseases often preceded by a weakness that tired
feeling. which Hoods Sarsaparillx taken in season
will soon overcome.
SECOND, AFTER THE GRIP.
Convalescencs from any form of the Grin 70 very
SLOW and regain the desired strength good tonic
is absolutely necessary. Words strong enough
to express our confidence in =
HOODS sARsAPARILLA
As tonic after attacks Of the Grip or after typhoid
fever scarlet fever. diphtheria or other
prostrafing diseases Many testimonials from people
who have taken 1t conclusvey prove that
ICES and enriches the thin and impoverished blood
HOODS PILLS are purely vegetable and are the
