The People Believe
What They Read About Hoods
SarSaparilla
Their Faith in This Medicine Is
Grounded on Merit
They Know 1t Absolutely Cures
When Other Medicines Fail

Hoods Sarssparilla is not merely a SIM
pie preparation of Sarsapsrills, Dock.
Stillingia and little Iodide of Potassium.
Besides these excellent alternatives, il
also contains those great anti-bilious and
liver remedies, Mandrake and DandeIion.
1t also contains those great kidney RENE
dies, IVA Ursi, Juniper Berries, ana
Pipsissews.
Nor are these all. Other very valuable
curative agents are tremendously COM
bined in Hoods Ssrsaparills, and it is
carefully prepared under the personal
supervision OF q regularly educated phar-
macist.
Knowing these facts, is the abiding faith
the peopls have in Hoods Sarsaparilla a
matter OF surprises You can see why
Hoods SarsspsriIls cures, when other
medicines totally, absolutely fail.
"My little girl was afflicted with
eczema and suffered for seven years. She
was attended by physicians and tried
many different kinds of medicine with
out relief. After taking few bottles OF
Hoods Ssrsapsrills she was cured" Mrs
