Experience is the great teacher. The true
test of medicines merit is in the
taking and result thereof. Thousands
of women are to-day telling to others
the story of their cures by Hoods Sar-
saparilla. If you are half sick, 5" all

from impure blood, such hearty in
dorsement should lead you into similar
satisfactory experience. AS Mrs. Travis
was led to take Hoods Sarsaparilla by
another woman's testimonial, so let
the frank statement below convince
you of the merit of Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, and lead you to take it and re-
ioice in restored health.
