Older medicines have been forced to stand aside when real medicinal merit was considered, and to-day Hood’s Sarsaparilla stands the^eadins medicine of its kind in the country. It is peculiaitin its strength and economy—100 doses one dollar, t is a conct n trated extract from S irsaparilla, Dock, Juniper Berries, Mandrake, Dandelion, and other valuable vegetable remedies, and is much stronger than any similar preparation upon the market. Hence, much smaller doses of Hood’s Sarsaparilla are necessary than is the case with other medicines. A dollar bot¬ tle of Hood’s Sarsaparilla contains an average of more than 100 doses, and will last a month, while others will average to last not over a week. Hence on the simple question of economy Hood’s Sarsa¬ parilla is given a decided preference* If vou have never tried this medicine, do so this season.

HAZELTfNE, Warren, Pft. Dear Sir: I was taken with a very severe cold last Spring, and tried every cure we had in the store, and could get no help. village doctor i I had o r prescribe for me, but kept getting worse. I saw an¬ other physician from Port Jervis, N. Y., and he told me he used I’iso’s Cure for Consumption in his prac¬ tice. I bought a bottle, and before I had taken all of it there was a change for the better. Then I got my em¬ ployer to order a quantity of the medicine and keep it in stock. I took one more bottle, and my Cough was cured. Respectfully, McKelvy. Frank M P N . SHOWmse^wauCASES. £ m , DESKS. OFFICE FURNITURE AND FIXTURES. \«k SHOW foe !llu»tr»te<l CASE CO., Pamphlet.
