We Know
BY Experience

Wise men use the experience OF others
and make it their own.
Those who have taken Hoods Sarsspa-
rilla are the ones who are competent To
speak Of its merits.
Thousands Of these people say Hoods
Sarsaparilla has cured them.
The testimonials of cures by Hoods
constitute vast mass of testimony which
proves the power of this medicine to cure
great variety of diseases.
These cures often seem marvellous, yet
they are perfcNtly natural and are easily
explained. They are the necessary result
of purifying and enriching the blood.
Pure blood is the foundation of health.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the One True Blood
Purifier and cures disease by purifying
and enriching the blood.
1t possesses peculiar curative power,
that IS, it cures when other medicines
cannot cure, because it is peculiar in COM
bination, proportion and process.
That is all there is to be explained about
the cures by Hoods Sarsaparilla.
