ITCHY SALT RHEUM
Sometimes Called Reconnaissance by
Hoods SarSnpariIla

Salt rheum is one of the worst and
unfortunately one Of the most com
mon OF all diseases. How il reddens
the skin, itches, oozes, dries and scales
and then does this all over again
Sometimes it covers the whole body
with inflamed. burning patches and
causes intense suffering. which is COM
monty worse at night
Local applications may do some good,
out they cannot permanently relieve.
The disease will continue to annoy,
PAIN and perhaps agonize. until the
blood has been purified and the general
health improved
Ask your druggist for Hoods Sarsa-
parllla. the GOOD old reliable family
remedy. Tt has given perfect satistac-
uon in thousands of eases Insist on
having Hoods Sarsaparilla, for no sub
stitute acts like il. Get ii tOday--AdY.
