DO YOU SUFFER
FROM BACKACHE :?

When your kidneys are weak and
torpid they do not properly perform
their functions; your back aches
and you do not feel like doing much
of anything. You are likely to be
Respondent and to borrow trouble,
just as if you hadn't enough al
ready. Don't be victim any longer.
The old reliable medicine, Hood s
Sarsaparilla, gives strength and
tone to the kidneys and builds up
the whole system. Get it today.
