America to he lost. and was lost in

Amy was only ''half glad" she said,
to find her relatives. She was glad to
promise to visit in England but refls-

Hoods Sarsaparilla has achieved great
success in warding off sickness which,
if allowed to progress, would have I'M
dermined the whole system and given
disease strong foothold to cause much
suffering and even threaten death.
Hoods Sarsaparilla has done all this
and even more. 1t has been taken in
thousands of eases which were thought
to be inclrable, and after fair trial
has effected wonderful cures, bringing
health, strength and joy to the afflicted.
Another important point about Hoods
Sarsaparilla is that its cures are per-
manent, because they start from the
solid foundation of purified, vitalized
and enriched blood. But it is not what
we say but what Hoods Sarsaparilla
does that tells the story.
