ALITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
 Scrofulous Humors How Cure
 Was Effected.
 "When five years old my little boy had scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It was worst on his chin, although the sores on his cheeks and hands were very bad. It appeared in the form of red pimples which would fester, break open and run and then scab over. After disappearing they would break out again. They caused intense itching and the little sufferer had to be watched continually to keep him from scratching the sores. We became greatly alarmed at his condition. My wife's mother had had scrofula and the only medicine which had helpd her was Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give it to our boy and we noted an improve ment in his case very soon. After giving him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla the humor had all been driven out of his blood and it has never since returned" !" WILLIAM BARrz, 416 South Williams St., South Bend, Indiana.
 You can buy Hoods Sarsaparilla of all druggists. Be sure to get only Hoods.
