Recently in Palmer, Mass, Miss
Sarah E. Bradford, a lineal descendant
Of the colonial Gov. Bradford, died in
the sixty-ninth year of her age. She
was unknown outside the town where
she was born. After her death
the motto she had adopted as
the rule of her life was found upon
her mantel. 1t read: 81 shall pass
this way but once; if, therefore, there
be any kindness I can show OF any
good thing I can do to my fellow hui
man beings, let me do it now; let me
not defer it nor neglect it, for I shall
not pass this way again."

would cry, realizing what pain he was in.
His pitiful wailing was heart-rending. I
had about given up hope of saving him when
I was urged to give him Hoods Sarsaparilla,
all other treatment having failed. I washed
the sores with Hoods Medicated Soap, ap.
piled Hoods Olive Ointment and gave him
Hoods S%arsaparilla. The child seemed to
get better every day, and very soon the
change was quite noticeable. The discharge
grew less, inflammation vent down, the skin
took on a healthy color, and the. raw flesh
began to scale over and a thin skin formed
as the scales dropped off. Less than two bot.
ties of Hoods S~arsaparilla, aided by Hoods
Medicated Soap and Hoods Olive Ointment,
accomplished this wonderful cure. I cannot
praise IT, medicines half enough" MRS.
