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’.” Mrs. E. C. Hixon, Robinson, Georgia. Hood’s Sarsaparilla Is the best—in fact the One True Blood Purifier.
