Shadow Of Herself
Stomach Was Too Weak
to Retain Food
A Complete Cure Effected by
Hoods Sarsaparilla
Now Enjoying the Best Of Health,
With Digestion Perfect.

"My mother was subject to sick head
aches and indigestion for over year.
She was unable to stand for any length
OF time, and was obliged to stay in dark
room as she could not bear the light. She
had no appetite whatever and her stomach
was so weak she could not retain what
food she did eat. She also had severe
pains in her head. She suffered 80 much
that she became but the shadow OF her
self. One day happened to read tes-
timonial about Hoods sarsaparilla. 1t
Sounded So Truthful
I persuaded her to try this medicine.
Before finishing the first bottle there was
an improvement in her condition. She no
longer threw mp her food and her hend-
ache was not as severe. She took in all
four bottles OF Hoods SarsapaIilla and
several boxes Of Hoods Pills and resained
her weight. She is now enjoying the best
OF health. Her digestion is good and she
can eat almost anything she wishes. She
is ~ years old and says she feels as we'll
as when she was i6. Hoods Sarsaparllla
made a complete cure in her ease.n
