Spring Debility
Is marked by loss of appetite, by weak, tired, languid feelings, and if the blood is very impure, by pimples, boils, eczema and other eruptons.

pounds. l was constable in my httse town for many years, able to handle the best of them, all owing to the benefit derived from Hoods Sar- ssparilla." Robert H. DespreAux, Middletown, N. J., Jan g, 1909.
 Pimples and Poor Appetite.
 "I am well satisfied with my experience with Hoods Sarsaparills, and if ever need bleod medicine again, I shall certainly take it. In the spring had pimples and boils all over my back, with poor appetite, and general run down 'springy' condition. One course of treatment for my blood had done me no good, then turned to Hoods Sarsaparills, which did the business just right. It gave me good appetite, and drove all the impurities out of my blood. Every oppor- tunity have to recommend this medicine, glad ly do so." H. P. Boyce, Battle Greek, Mich. Jan. II, 1909.
 H6rHood's Ssrsaparilla effects its wonderful cures not simply because it contains sarsaparills |. but because it combines the utmost remedial values of more than 20 different ingredients each greatly strengthened and enriched by this peeu- liar combination. These ingredients are the very remedies that successful physicians prescribe for the same diseases and ailments. There is no real substitute for Hoods Sarsaparilla. If urged to buy any preparation said to be ''just as good" you may be sure it is inferior costs less to make and yields the dealer larger profit
 Get Hoods Sarsaparilla today, in the usual liquid form or in the ehoeolated tablets known as Sarsatabs. 100 Doses One Dollar.
