So, when my husband had boils and carbuncles I urged him to take Hood’s and the re sult was that when he had used but one bottle the boils had nearly all dis appeared. He continued the use of the medicine and nfter taking two bottles he was completely cured, and, as he expressed it, felt as if he was on earth for the second time. He has never had any boils since. We take Hood’s as a spring medicine and gladly recommend it.” Mrs. A. E. Staysa, Yonkers, N. Y. Scrofula from Birth.

My eyes were so badly affected I would be almost bl'iid for a week at a time. My neck began to swell so that I could not breathe freely. Medicines failed to do me any good until I began taking Hood’s Sarsa parilla. Today I have excellent health and my eyes give me very little trouble. I owe it all to Hood’s, which I recommend to ail suffering from any disease of the blood.” Miss Ketthi, McGuire, Silver Creek, Ky.
