our Whole Confidence

in Hoods Sarsaparilla, and which attracted
much attention hereabouts, was the cure of our
little son, Harry, of consumption. Six years ago
while living at South Berwick, Maine, when
he was but three months old, he was seized
with an illness which developed into quick
consumption. Everything possible was done,
and the doctors, after a consultation, said
they could not save him. He was not expected
to live from day to day. My sister had bottle
of Hoods Sarsaparilla which only contained a
few teaspoonfuls. In hopes that it might give
the boy a little strength and possibly life, we
gave him few drops of the medicine three
times day. When the small quantity had been

after a deathsto lacerate the limbs, as
the shedding of blood expresses how
