LOSS OF APPETITE
Most Successfully Treated by Taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla.

Loss OF appetite Is accompanied by
loss or vitality, which is serious.
u is common in the spring because
at this time the blood is impure and
IMPOVERISHED and fails to give the d.
sestlve organs what is absolutely nee
essary for the proper performance of
their functions.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old reliable
al!.the-year-round medicine, is espec-
tally useful in the spring. Get 1t from
your druggist today BY purifying and
enriching the blood and giving vitality,
vlgor and tone. 1t is wonderfully sue
cessful in the treatment of loss of ap-
petite and the other ailments preva-
lent at this time. It is not simply a
spring medicine-it is much more than
that-but it is the best spring medi-
cine.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes the rich
red blood the digestive organs need.
