The Best
Spring Medicine

Spring Ailments are blood ailments
that is, they arise from an impure
impoverished, devitalized condition of
the blood; and Hoods Sarsaparilla
purifies, enriches and revitalizes the
blood as no other medicine does.
1t is the most effective Of all blood
medicines.
There is Solid Foundation for this
claim, in the more than 10000 testi-
monials of radical and permanent
cures by this medicine, received in
two years, this record being unpar-
alleled in medical history.
