Scrofula. He gradually grew worse, how
jever, until at the age of twelve years we
d lost all hope of his recovery. He he
me so weak he could sit up but a few
ninutes at a time. My wife saw Hood's
iarsaparilla recommended as a great blood
purifier and we sent and got a bottle. We
egan giving our boy the medicine ao
ordirjg to directions and it was not long1
before we saw he was improving. He
fcontinned taking it until he was in very
