relief proved to be close at hand. My sis :,

case similar to yours, and the woman was
actually cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Wouldn't it be a good plan for you to try &
it?''
IT did not think it best, as I naturally
had no faith now that any medicine would
help me. My sister succeeded, however, !.
in persuading me to try Hoods. My hus- :.
band got a bottle at once, and tried a.
quarter Of q. teaspoonful at a dose. This
agreed with me perfectly and kept on. z
