Gave Her Hoods SarsapariIa- She
Has Rosy Cheeks Now.

"Wben my baby was two months
old she cried night and day, and
seemed to be in great pain. She had
discharge from her ears, and the top
OF her head broke out in scrofulous
eruptions The doctor gave me some
thing to stop the discharge and ease
the pain, but his treatment did not
cure her and we were sorry to see
She Grew Worse
instead OF better. The top of her
head broke out with scrofula. A
crust would form on her head and fall
off, taking the hair along with it.
and this continued for two or three
months, when something seemed to tell
me to try Hoods Sarsaparilla, and /
did so, together with Hoods Pills
and Hoods Olive Ointment. Soon
The Discharge stopped
and the sores were rapidly healing.
In short time her hair grew out and
she now has rosy cheeks and is all
right In every way" Mrs. /. LLOYD,

It is we'll known fact that the 2nd. hand clothing bloodsucklng, stinkers who drop into town every fall and winter couldn't do any business at all if it wer'nt for the ignorant negroes. These poor ignorant beings draw their wag6s and when they go to spend itare drawn into these 2nd. hand cloth ing dens by the sstinkers'' as the spider catches the fly, before the unwary ignorant is awafe, he has been quietly and ingoniously relieved of his cash and has nofh- ing but some old End. hand, shod- dy stuff to show for it. Thus it is year in and year out, that these buslness blood suckers come into our city, camp for a few months. pay no taxes, rob our regular lIier- chants of the trade thatlegitimats. ly belongs to them, are enablpd |to do these things solely thro' the
