Is the sad story of many lives made

own. Scrofula is more especially
than any other hereditary disease,
and for this simple reason: Arising
from impure and insufficient blood,
the disease locates itself in the lym.
phatlcs, which are composed Of
white tissues there is a period of
foetal life when the whole body con-
slsts of white tissues, and therefore
the unborn child is especially sus-
ceptible to- this dreadful disease.
But there is a remedy for scrofula,
whether hereditary or acquired. 1t
is Hoods Sarsararilla, which by it's
powerful effect on tie blood, expeis
all trace Of the disease and gives to
the vital fluid the quality and color
Of health. If You decide to take
