There are fads in medicine as in every.
thing else and "new thing" frequently
sells for short time, simply because it is
new. But in medicine, as in nothing else,
the people demand and will be satisfied
only with positive, absolute merit. The
fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla has stood lis
ground against all competition, and its
sales have never wavered but have re-
manned steadily at the top, demonstrates,
beyond any doubt, the intrinsic virtues
OF this medicine. The new things have
come and gone but Hoods Sarsaparilla
rests upon the solid foundation of abso-
Lutte merit and its power to cure, and its
sales continue to be the largest in the
world.
