a Sisters Adpfce.

tell you, nobody but mother
knows how mother feels when she
looks at her child and fears that he
may not be spared to her. =.
The hours of her life are dark and
heavy when she does that.
But that is what Mrs. Frank T. Wash
burn, OF kennebunk, Maine, did more
than once, when punches had formed
on her little boys neck.
She knew they were scrofulous
punches, and she knew scrofula is pro-
gressive and one Of the most destruc-
tive OF diseases.
She was alarmed, and told her sister
about her fears for the little fellow, and
her sister comforted her by telling her
that many wonderful cures of scrofula
had been wrought by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, and that she should give this
medicine to the boy.
1t is difficult to conceive how her
sister could have thrown more sunshine
into her life at this time, and it is
certain that better advice could not
have been given.
For, mark you! this is what Mrs.
Washburn said, on the 18th OF Octo-
Der, 1900:
Hoods Sarsaparilla cured my boy.
The punches gradually softened and
disappeared. He has been real well
ever since and now, at three years OF
age. is rugged, healthy child. ! am
grateful for what Hoods Sarsapariila
| did for him."
This is simple statement Of one OF
the thousands OF radical and permanent
cures of scrofnla effected by Hoods
! Sarsaparlla-which is the medicine of
all medicines for this disease and all
its manifestations, punches, assesses,
eruptions, iniamed eycids, sore ears,
ricketts,, wasting and general debility,
as we'll as for dyspepsia, catarrh, kid
| new complaint and rheumatism.
Hoods Sarsaparila is obtainahle of
all druggists. Don't accept any sub
sttute for it, nor any preparation rep
resented as being equally good. No
substitute, no other preparation, acts
like it. Insist on having Hoods.
