Poisoned by Ivy
Was in a Dreadful Condition
Happened to Read About a Simitar
Case Fallowed the Other Man's
Example and Was Cured.
The following incident is given bj
Charles Morris, general jobber,s2 Lexing
ton Avenue, North Cambridge, Musa.;
“Several years ago I became poisoned
by ivy. I tried many medicines, spending
* large sum of money without obtaining
a particle of good. My children were
also attiicted with the same disease. Wa
were aU constant sufferers with an awful
itching sensation, and it seemed as if 1
should tear inyself to pieces. I picked
up a |>aper in which I found printed a
testimonial from a man in Vermont who
had been similarly afflicted and had taken
Hood’s Sarsaparilla with benefit. I bought
a bottle, which we took and it did
Me and My Children
so much good I purchased another supply.
We continued taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla
until we used five bottles and I can
safely say that neither myself nor children
have any signs of the poison. It has en
tirely left us and we are perfectly cured.
We give the whole credit to Hood’s Sarsa
parilla. Before resorting to this medicine
1 was reduced in weight, but now I
weigh 175 pounds. Hood’s Sarsaparilla
lias not only done much good but has
M>en the means of’ saving me a great deal
>f money. I would not be without it
in my honse and I heartily recommend
It to all who are attiicted. I have writ
ten this statement for publication, of my
iwn will, as 1 want others to know what
Mood’s Sarsaparilla
.as done for us.” Chaki.es Morris.
