Fads in Medicine.

There are fads in medicine as ia
everything else and ''new thing"
frequently sells for a short time
simply because it is new. But in
medicine, as in nothing else, the
people demand and will be satisfied
only with positive, absolute merit
TIE fact that Hoods Sarsapaiilla
has stood it's ground against all
competition, and its sales have never
wavered but have remained steadily
at the top, demonstrates, beyond
any doubt, the intrinsic virtues of
this medicine. The new things have
come and gone but Hoods Sarsapa
rilla rests upon the solid foundation
of absolute merit and it's power to
cure. and it's sale continues to be
the largest in the world
