One Large Scar Is All That RmaLis of Great Scrofula Sores Neighbors Could Not Lear to Look Upon Her—A Grand, Complete Cure by Hood’s Sarsaparilla After Others Failed. ‘•I was taken with neuralgia in my head and eyes. Not long after this, a scrofula sore appeared on my left cheek, extending from my upper lip to my eye. Other sores came on my neck and on my right arm and one of my limbs. They were very troublesome and painful and soon became great running sores. My face looked so bad that some of my neighbors could not bear to look at me and advised me to wear a bandage, but I feared this would irritate the sore and make it worse. So I Could Not Hido tho Sores. My niece, v ho was familiar with a case jimili.. to i.j.ne, which had been cured by ’’ -od’s Sarsaparilla, urged me to try it. Finally I was persuaded to do so, and in a short tir-i I saw it was helping me. lhe s. i I ;an to heal and the neu ralgia in my head was better. In a few montlio tuc lores on my arms and limbs all healed; those on my neck gradually disappeared and now they are all gone. I have never had any symptom of scrofula since. One large scar on my right arm is all the sign that remains of my terrible affliction. The neuralgia is also cured.” Mits. J. M. Hatch, Etna, New Hampshire.
