Only the Best

Should be your motto when you need a
medicine Do not be induced to take
any substitute when you call for
Hoods SarsaParilla. Experience has
proved it to be the best. 1t is an honest
medicine, possessing actual and une-
qualled merit. Be wise and profit by the
experience of other people.
HOOPS Pu1s are the favorite family
cathartic, easy to operate.

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson. of AIa5 ,is Ss M0,
writes: "For six years l have neen

of physicians in Washington, y.

and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet
Had 1 only used your S.S-S- long ago,
I would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $3.50"
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. SIS. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.
