plications that we could think or hear Of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one

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 on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods 6arsaparilla. also took Hoods
6areaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were we'll 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. 8. 8. WRorEN, Farming.
