BABY's SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Scrofua Sores,
cat the age OF two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external APP
plications that we could think or hear OF,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side OF his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared OH baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. ! also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. s. s. WRoTEN, Farming
ton, Delaware. Get only Hoods.
