Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the most popular and successful Spring Medi-ine. Try it this spring and you will be convinced of its peculiar merit, “For five years I was sick every spring, but last year took Hood’s Sarsaparilla and have not seen a sick day since.” G. W. Sloan, Milton, Mass. Hood’s Sarsaparilla “For a first-class spring medicine my wife aud I both think very highly of Hood’s S irsaparilla. We both took it last spring. It d/d us a great deal of good and we felt better through the hot weather than ever before. It cured my wife of sick head¬ ache, from which she has suffered a great deal, and relieved me of a dizzy, tired feeling. I think every one ought to take something to purify the blood before the hot weather comes on, and we shall cer¬ tainly take Hood’s Sarsaparil a this spring.” J. H* Peirce, Supt.
