From Washington
How a Little BoyWas Saved.

Washington. d. O.-'When our boy
was about 16 months old he broke out
with Z rash which was thought to be
measles. In o few days he had q
swelling on the left side of his nee.
and 1t was decided to be humps. He
was given medical attendance for
about three weeks when the doctor
said il was scrofula and ordered
salvs. He wanted to lance the sore,
but I would not let him and continued
giving him medicine for about four
months when the bunch broke in two
places and became running sore.
Three doctors said it was scrofula and
each ordered q blood medicine. A
neighbor told me OF case somewhat
like our baby's which was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla. I decided to give
1t to my boy and in short while his
health improved and his neck healed
DO nicely that I stopped giving him the
medicine. The sore broke out again,
however, whereupon I again gave him
Hoods Sarsaparilla and its persistent
use has accomplished q complete
cure" Mrs. NErTIE CHASE, AZ Z
