with Its wondertul power as a blood
purifier, Hood’s Sarsaparilla gently
tones and strengthens the stomach and
digestive organs, invigorates the liver. I
creates an appetite, gives refreshing I
sleep, and raises the health tone. In
can/ of dyspepsia and indigestion it
seems to have “ air agic touch.”
