What ScrOfuIa Is.

Scrotula is a disease as old as an
tiquity. 1t has been handed down
for generations and is the same to-
day as in early times. 1t is EN-
phatically a disease of the blood,
and the only way to cure it is by
purifying the blood. That is just
what Hoods Sarsaparilla does in
every case where it is given a faith
full trial. 1t eradicates all impurities
from the blood, and cures the sores,
boils, pimples and all forms of skin
disease due to scrofula taints in the
blood. Hoods Sarsaparilla has
won the grateful praise of vast
numbers of people by its grand and
complete cures. Don't allow scrof.
ula to develop in your blood. Cure
it at once by taking Hoods Sarsa-
parilla.
