Comparatively few of} us have perfect health, owing to the im- pure condition of our blood. But we rub :along from day to day, with scarcely a thought. unless forced to our attention, of the thousands all about us who are suffering from scrofula, salt rheum and other serious blood disor- ders, and whose agonies can only be imagined. The marked success of Hood’s Sarsaparilla for these troubles. . asvshown in our advertising columns frequently, certainly seems to justify urging the use of this excellent medi- cine by all who know that their blood is disordered. Every claim in behalf of Hood’s Sarsapa’rilla is fully backed up by what the medicine has done and is still doing, and when its proprietors urge its merits and its use upon all who suffer from impure blood, in great or small degrees, they certainly mean to include you.
