The Great Spring Medicine
Tn thousands» of homes, for more than thirty years. Hood’s Sarsaparilla
has been taken, as a Spring Medicine, by every member of the family.
Peculiar to Itself in what it is and what it does, it combines the best
blood purifiers, appetizers and tonics, and effects complete cures of
Spring Ailments—all blood diseases, pimples, eruptions, eczema,
scrofula, all stomach, liver and kidney complaints, loss of appetite, that
tired feeling, all low or run-down conditions of the system.
Hood's Sarsaparilla effects its wonderful cures, not simply because it
eontains sarsaparilla, but because it combines the utmost remedial values
of more than 20 different ingredients, each greatly strengthened and en
riched by this peculiar combination. These ingredients are the very rem
edies that successful physicians prescribe for the same diseases and ail
ments. There is no real substitute for Hood’s Sarsaparilla. If urged to
buy any preparation said to be “just as good,’’ you may be sure it is in
ferior, costs less to make, and yields the dealer a larger profit.
Begin taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla today, in the usual liquid form or in
the chocolated tablets known as Sarsatabs. 100 Doses One Dollar.

beneficially and combining them most

its wholesome and refreshing Syrup of

As there is only one genuine Syrup of

genuine to get its beneficial effects.
