FIRST THE FATHER THEN THE
DAUGHTER.

For many years MIR. George Allen,
of Goshen. Va, was afflicted with
scrofulous sores and most distress
ing enlargement of the glands of the
neck. He spent hundreds of dollars
with eminent physicians without ben
eft aud was at last induced to try
DIR. Dayid's Sarsaparilla After tax
ing three bottles the sores and en-
largeinent disappeared and he was
entirely cured. He would have been
a happy man but for the fact that
his little daughter had inherited the
scrofulous 'taint and was in most
distressing condition-her face and
neck being almost entirely covered
with sores and her eyes nearly clos.
ed. Thinking that what had cured
him might benefit his daughter, he
!, sent for another supply of the Sarsa
,parilla, and she began taking it ac
cord!ng to directions. On March 10
we received the following letter:
DEAR SIas: My little girl is getting along
nicely. The medicine is curing her fast.
Igot another bottle at the store today. A
new supply had just arrived and they sold
q bottles as soon as it was opened.
Yours truly,
GEORGE ALLEN, Goshen, Va.
Those horrible sores can he cured!
DIR. David's Sarsapnrilla will do it
when nothing else will. For sale at
