Cured Hood's (Sarsaparilla.
“ For tine past four years I have been in
feeble health, and for two years, past,
owing to change of climate, I have not
been able to do my work. I was nervous
andTljad a tired feeling and was under the
treatment of physicians, but X continually
grew wqtb6. My husband insisted on.my
trying Hood’s Sarsaparilla and I finally
consented, and began taking it the first of
June, 18S6. The first bottle did me so
much good that I continued with it, and
after taking four bottles and one bottle of
Hood’s Pills I am able to do my work,
and the- tired, nervous feeling is entirely
cured.” Mbs. G. N. Hosea, Suwanee, Ga.
