One Large Scar

SCrOfuIa Sores

NeighboFs Could Not Bear 70 Look
Upon Her-A Grand, Complete
Cure by Hoods SarsapariIIa
After Others Failed.
81 was taken with neuralgia in my
head and eyes. Not long after this,
scrofuIa sore appeared on my left cheek,
extending from my upper lip to my eye.
Other sores came on my neck and on my
right arm and one of my limbs. They
were very troublesome and painful and
soon became great running sores. My
face looked so bad that some of my
neighbors could not bear to look at me
and advised me to wear a bandage, but
feared this would irritate the sore and
make it worse. So
Could Not Hide the Sores.
Ny niece, who was familiar with case
similar to mine, which had been cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, urged me to try it.
Finally 1 was persuaded to do so, and in
a short time I saw it was helping me.
The sores began to heal and the neu-
ralgia in my head was better. In a few
months the sores on my arms and limbs
all healed; those on my neck gradually
disappeared and now they are all gone.
have never had any symptom of scrofuIa
since. One large scar on my right arm is
all the sign that remains of my terrible
affection. The neuralgia is also cured. ,;

This species of willow is not in- digenous to this country but is said to be common in some parts of Europe. A few months ago the property on which the tree stands was sold to Mrs Elizabeth F. Pratt, a wealthy West ern woman, who is about to build a handsome residence in place of the present structure and will fence in this historic tree.
