 ScrofnlR is erad1cated gand all kindred dis eases are absolutely cured by Hoods Sarsap artlla which by it's vitalizing, enriching and alterative effects, positively makes pure blood.
 No disease is more common among the peo- pie than serOfula. Handed down from gener ation to generation, it is found in nearly every family, in one form or another. It may make it's appearance in dreadful running sores, in uneightly swellings In the neck or goitre, or in eruptions ot varied forms. Attacking the mucous membrane it may be known as cat arrh in the head, or developing in the lungs it may be, and often Is, the prime cause ot Consumption.
 In whatever form serofula may manifest itself, Hoods SarsaparilIas is it's inveterate foe and conqueror. This medicine has such powerful alternative and vita1izing effects upon the blood that every trace of inpurity IS expelled and the blood is made rich, pure and healthy.
 Many Of the cures ot scrofaIa accomplished by Hoods Sarsaparillas have been nothing less than wonderful. Cases which were con- aider6d absolutely hopeless have been cured by 1t and the people to day live and enjoy good health, thanks to Hoods Sarsaparilla.
