A LITTLE

Face. Hands and Arms Covered With

Wa Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at hi 9 N. My
wife's mother had had scrofula n the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case verv soon. After giving
him four bntt'e -, hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

that contained SO remarkable a state

to the effect that in Arson county
there is a family by the name of Roll
Inns. of most remarkable height. There
are seven brothers and four sisters
eleven in all-and they actually aver
age six feet and five inches. The tallest
Is not mentioned nor the lowest, which
would be interesting. The highly rep
utable newspaper, The Monroe En-
quirer, gives the information On the
authority Of one of the brothers, Mr..
j. NJ. Rollins. who is himself seven
feet and three-quarter inches high.
We doubt much If that enormously tall
family of eleven can be equalled in all
southland. 1t is the highest average we
have heard Of in our day and genera
ton. You may have to go back to the
times OF the Anaks to find a parallel.
