&C. !. Hood Co.. Lowell, Mass.
"Dear Sirs: In our home we have so much
reason to be thankful for Hood s Sarsaparilla and
Hoods Olive Ointment, that | must freely tell
you our experience with these medicines.
"When my baby was four months old his
face broke out with small patches of eczema.
The doctor said baby would soon be all right, bat
he steadily grew worse and at sixteen months Of
age. baby's face, hands and arms were in dread
fuI state. The eczema seemed to be spreading all
over his body His face was so sore, and such
a dreadful sight, we we're obliged to put mask
or cloth over his face, and we we're obliged also
to tie up his little hands and arms with cloths
to prevent him from scratching and making the
infamed places bleed. The disease also affected
his eyes, and we were afraid he would lose his
eyebrows and eyelashes entirely. We consulted
other doctors, used ointments and salves sent US
by friends and neighbors. Some of these things
would seem to have little effect, but after few
days would act like poison, and increase this
terrible stubborn disease
'tJust one year ago this month baby lay be-
tween life and death The doctor had told US
he could do no more, and we felt that we must
9lve up trying TO find any cure relief Our
hearts we're Just breaking, and had the sym
pathy Of many friends and ueighbors who knew
Of our affection. Finally my husband said one
days 4 am going 10 try Hoods Sarsaparilla
