Would cause great discomfort and
loss, but fortunately it is seldom
known. A vast amount of misery is
caused at this season, however, by i'm
poverished blood, poor appetite and
general debility. These conditions
may be remedied by enrlching the
blood and toning the stomach with
Hoods Sarsaparilla. This medicine
seems to put new life into the whole
physical system, simply because of its
wonderful power to purify, enrich and
yitalize the blood, create an appetite
and invigorate the digestive functions.
We advise youto get bottle and try
it IL you are not feeling just right. 1t
will do you more good than six weeks
vacation. 1t is the best medicine
money can buy.
