RHEUMATISM
Does not let go of you when you apply
lotions or liniments to your aching joints
or stiff muscles. It simply loosens its
hold for a while.
Why?
Because to get rid of rheumatism you
must correct the acid condition of the
blood on which it depends.
Rheumatism is as constitutional as
scrofula; all that Is local about it is its
effect—the inflammation and pain it
causes.
Take Hood’s Sarsaparilla and Pills—
they correct the acid condition of the
blood and the defects of digestion, ab
sorption and elimination to which that
condition is due.
The cure is radical and permanent.
Hood's Sarsaparilla and Pills are bet
ter than any substitutes; Insist on hav
ing Hood’s.

BOY HAS STRANGYLOYDES:
BAD OFF? TO BE SURE
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 21.—1 t was
discovered at the Charity hospital here
today that a 10-year-old boy, who ar
rived yesterday as a hookworm patient,
is suffering from three separate and dis
tinct kinds of intestinal parasites, with
strongyloydes in predominance.
This is said by physicians here to be
oue of the most remarkable cases on
record. Until recently the strongyloydes
parasite was not considered serious, but
it has been found that its presence in

hookworm. There is no cure,, so far as
is known, for strongylodes.
The patient has been ill for months,
suffering from dull pains in the abdo
men, these at times becoming acute.
Experimental treatment with salol in
the case is meeting with success.
