After the Grip

Convalescence is very slow, and to recover the
health-tone a good tonic is absolutely necessary
Hoods Sarsaparila has been USED with wonder
full success as a buildng-up medicine and blood
purifier after attacks of the Grip, after Typhoid
Fever, Scarlet Fever, Diphtheria, pneumonia or
other prostrating diseases. 1t possesses just the
bulding-up effect so much needed; it yitalizes
and enriches the thin and Impoverished blood,
and it inyigorates the kidneys and stimulates
the liver so that they resume healthy action.
Left in Bad Shape
''The Grip left me in bad shape; no strength,
no appetite, and with a bad cough. I heard
what Hoods Sarsaparilla had done for others in
similar cases, and decided to give it trial, and
have seen no reason to regret my choice. for
after taking three bottles, consider that am as
well ase yer was in my life.
Hoods Sarsaparilla
Is most surely good medicine LEVI r.
