These enervating days are fraught
with danger to people whose systems
are poorly sustained. This leads the
makers of Hoods Sarsaparilla to say,
in the interest of the less robust, that
the full effect of this good old family
medicine justifies calling it, not only a
blood purifier but also a tonic 1t is
sustaining. 1t gives strength, aids di-
gestion, promotes refreshing sleep, and
will prevent much sickness at this
time of year.
Hoods Pills, which are gentle and
thorough, may be taken with it, in
cases where there is need of a
cathartic or laXative.--Advt.
