LOSS OF APPETITE
Most Successfully Treated BY Taking
Hoods SarsaparilIa.

Loss of appetite is accompanied by
loss of vitality, which is serious.
1t is common In the spring because
at this time the blood is impure and
Impoverished and fails to give the
digestive organs what is absolutely
necessary for the proper performance
of their functions.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old reliable
all-the- year-round medicine, is espe-
cially useful in the spring. Get it from
your druggist today. BY purifying and
enriching the blood and giving vitality,
vieor and tone, it is wonderfully sue
cessful in the treatment of loss
of appetite and the other ailments
prevalent at this time. 1t is not
simply spring medicine-it is much
more than that-but it is the best
spring medicine.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes the rich
red blood the digestive organs need.
