All advertisements of Hoods Sarsaparilla,
like Hoods SarsapariIla itself, are honest.
We have never deceived the public, and
this with its superIative medicinal merit,
is why the people have abiding confidence
in it, and buy Hoods Sarsaparilla almost
to the exclusion of all others.

and customers who buy it once are sure
