Proved to Be a Friend In Need —
Interesting Statement.
I was in good health up to about 15
years ago, when I began to suffer from
constipation and piles, and neglect of
a cold brought on catarrh, followed by
heart difficulty, and liver and kidney
troubles. My constitution fought against
them all, until my suffering drove me to
consultation with my father, who was a
physician. He advised me to take Hood’s
Sarsaparilla. Having confidence in his
judgment I began taking the medicine, to
gether with Hood’s Pills, and I ended
with them, taking no other medicines,
and the benefits I have derived from them
have been great and surprising. Since
then Hood’s Sarsaparilla has been to me,
as my husband says, ‘a friend in need’.”

him. JOHN D. POPE,
Attorney at Law.
* Albany, Ga., Nov. 19, 1895.
The roof painting* done for me by Mr.

one of the most satisfactory jobs of

whole transaction, was fair, business
like and satisfactory.
Respectfully, A. W. MUSE.
