Aching Joints

In the fingers, toes, arms, and other
parts of the body, are joints that are
inhamed and swollen by rheumatism
that acid condition of the blood which
affects the muscles also.
Sufferers dread to move, especially
after sitting or lying long, and their
condition is commonly worse in wet
weather.
ut has been long time since we have
been without Hoods Sarsaparilla. MY
father thinks he could not do without 1t.
He has been troubled with rheumatism
since he was boy, and Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla is the only medicine he can take that
will enable him to take his place in the
field" Miss ADA DoTY, Sidney, Iowa.
Hoods SdrSdpariLLG
and Pills
Remove the cause of rheumatism-no
outward application can. Take them.

Horses come next, but between the dog
and all other form animals, from the

goats. but az diet. not as living friends.
Cows and sheep and goats should be
kept as free from association with dogs
