There are many things learned
from experience and observation that
the older generation SHOULD impress
upon the younger. Among them is
the fact that scrofula and other
humors, which produce eczema. boils,
pimples and other eruptions, can be
most successfully treated with Hoods
HSarsaparilla.
This great medicine is peculiar
combination of remarkably effective
blood purifying and health-giving
