Spring Time

Is when every one feels the nee { f
some blood purifying, strength invig-
Grating and health producing medi-
cine. The real merit of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla is the reason of its widespread
popularity. It's unequalled success
is its best recommendation. The
whole system is susceptible to the
most good from medicine like Hoods
Sarsaparilla taken at this time, and
we would lay special stress upon the
time and remedy, for history has it
recorded that delays are dangerous.
The remarkable success achieved by
Hoods Sarsaparilla and the many
words of praise it has received. make
it worthy of your confidence We ask
you to give this medicine fair trial.
