husband and Wife Restored to Health
by Hoods Sarsapari11a.
Impure blood is often the cause of a
long train of ailments. The blood is
the vital fluid upon which all the or
cams depend for nourishment. When
this nourishment fails to be supplied
properly the whole system feels the
effect Read this letter:
Several years ago was taken with
the grip, and l was sick all winter 1
had nervous proStration and a long
train of ailments that follow closely
with that terrible malady. Last winter
it seized me again. 1t went to my lungs
and l had congestion of the lungs and
kidney and liver trouble. When / felt
its approach l
Quickly Resorted to Hoods
Sarsaparilla and a glorious result
followed l was on my feet the
first winter for seven years. The symp-
toms of the disease left me, and the
ailments connected with it. For sew
eraI years my husband WIS a sufferer
with rheumatism and neuralgia. He
was all run down and in very bad
way. He took many kinds Of medicine
without any permanent benefit until
he began taking Hoods SarsapariIla.
This medicine cured the pains of rheu-
matism and neuralgia and he said he
felt like a new man. If all those who
are suffering from nervous troubles or
rheumatism would give Hoods Sarsa-
parilla a trial they would find that it
speaks for itself" Mrs. e. G. Pratt,
