Reouired for Health and Beauty

It is surprising that it is neces-
sary to repeat again and again that
the health and beauty of the SKIN
require that the blood shall be
nure If the arteries of the skin
receive impure blood, pimples and
blotches appear, and the individual
suffers from humors. Powders and
other external applications are
sometimes used for these affections
but will never have the desired Ell
feet while the causes OF impure
blood remain.
The indications are very clear
that Hoods Sarsaparilla is the most
successful medicine for purifying
me blood, removing pimples and
blotches, and giving health and
beauty to the skin. It gives tone to
ali the organs and builds up the
whole system. Insist on having
Hoods Sarsaparilla when you ask
for 1t. Don't take anything else.
