People often wonder why their nerves are
so weak; why they get tired 80 easily;
why they start at every slight but
sudden sound; why they do not sleep
naturally; why they have frequent
headaches, indigestion and
PalpitatIon Of the Heart.
The explanation is simple. 1t is found in
that impure blood which is contin-
ually feeding the nerves upon refuse
instead OF the elements of strength and
vigor. In such condition opiate and
nerve compounds simply deaden and
do not cure. Hoods Sarsaparilla feeds
the nerves pure, rich, red blood; gives
natural sleep, perfect digestion, self
control, vigorous health, and is the
true remedy for all nervous troubles.
