What They Read About Hood’s
Sarsaparilla
Their Faith in This Medicine is
Grounded on Merit
They Know It Absolutely Cures
Won Other Medicines Fail
Hood h Saraaparilla is not merely a sim
ple preparation of Sarsaparilla, Dock,
Stillingia and a little lodide of Potassium.
Besides these excellent alteratives, it
also contains those great anti-bilious and
liver remedies, Mandrake and Dandelion.
It also contains those great kidney reme
dies, Uva Ural, Juniper Berries, and
Pipeissewa.
Nor are these all. Other very valuable
curative agents are harmoniously com
bined in Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and it is
carefully prepared under the personal
supervision of a-regularly educated phar
macist.
Knowing these facts, is the "biding faith
tho people have in Hood’s Sarsaparilla a
matter of surprise? You can see why
Hood’s Sarsaparilla cures, when other
medicines totally, absolutely fail.
“My little girl was afflicted with
eczema and suffered for seven years. She
was attended by physicians and tried
many different kinds of medicine with
out relief. After taking a few bottles of
Hood’s Sarsa parilia she was cured.” Mrs.
Emma Franklin, Houeoye, New York.
