So far the winter has been very mild, and a good deal of disagree able weather is anticipated. Was Very Nervous Mad Smothering Spells and Could Not Sleep—Doctors Called It Neuralgia and Indigestion. “I had pains in my head, neck and shoulders and all through my body but they were most severe in my left side. The doctor called it neuralgia and in digestion. I was cdnfined to my bed for eight months. I was very nervous, had smothering spells and could not sleep. I read of cures by Hood’s Sarsaparilla and of a case similar to mine. My husband procured a bottle, and I began taking it. After taking one b&ttle I felt better, was able to rest and my appetite improved. I continued until my nervousness was cured and I was much better in every way. My husband has also been bene fited by Hood’s Sarsaparilla.” Maky S. Stone, Spainville, Virginia. Sarsa parilla Is the Best—in fact the One True Blood Purifier. Sold by all druggists. $1, six for $5.
