In the BEGINNING

confinement is only half gone, many find that
their health begins to break down, that the
least exposure threatens sickness. 1t is then
rs well as al all other times and with people
even in good health, that the following facts
should be rem embercd, namely: Hoods Sar-
saparilla leads everything in the way of medi-
cines: that it accomplishes the greatest cures
in the world; has the largest sale in the world,
and requires the largest building in the world
devoted exclusively to the preparation of the
proprietary medicine. Does this not conclu-
sively prove. if you are SICK that Hoods Sar-
saparilla is the medicine for you to take?
