Despite the report that Letter has

many who believe that the big deal was a

British government of all that cereal that

But 1T is Soon Cured by Moods
SarSaparilla.

Yes, Scrofula, If anything, may be called
the advertisement of foul blood. 1t is the
Bcourge of the world offensive, painful.
facilitating, stubborn and well nigh
uncomfortable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
faint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, SO far as wo
know, has almost invariab bly, succeeded =
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years OF faint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this:
"My daughter was afflicted with i'm
pure blood. There were running cores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and began giving the girl this med
3cine. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking few bottles.
She has had no symptoms of scrofula
sores since that time" MARIETTA M.
