Facts About Health

Know How
Some Of the Conditions Necessary
to Perfect Health.

The Importance OF maintaining good
health is easily understood, and 1t is really
a simple matter IL we take correct view
of the conditions required. In perfect
health the stomach promptly digests food.
and thus prepares nourishment. The
blood is employed to carry this nourish-
ment to the organs, nerves, muscles and
tissues which need it. The first great
essential for good health, therefore, is
pure, rich blood. Now it is certainly
fact that no medicine has such

as Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t is literally true
that there are hundreds of people alive
and well today who would have been in
their graves had they not taken Hoods
Sarsaparilla. 1t is depended upon as a
family medicine and general regulator of
the system by tens of thousands of people.
This is because Hoods Sarsaparilla makes
the blood pure. This is the secret of its
great success. Keep your system in good
health by keeping your blood pure with
