New and Original Advertising.

1t is interesting to watch the new
ideas always to be found in the ad-
vertising of Hoods Sarsaparilla. The
present line of advertisements is es-
pecially unique. each beginning with a
familiar proverb and leading up to the
good qualities of this famous medicine.
The argument in every case is clinched
by condensed testimonials from people
the medicine has cured. 1t is crafty
ing TO see the continued success of an
article of genuine merit. While other
preparations come to the surface and
after short time disappear. Hoods
Sarsaparilla has steadily maintained
its place in public confidence.
