" A very severe pain came in my left
kneo, which grew worse and worse, and
finally a sore broke out abuve the knee.
It discharged a great deal and the pain
from my thigh down was maddening.
Large, hard, purple spots uppeared on my
leg. I suffered In this way for years,
and gave up all hope ofever being cured.
My wife was reading of a case like mine
cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla, and she
advised mo to try it. I began taking it
and when I had used a few bottles I
found relief from my suffering. Oh,
how thankful I am for this relief 1 I am
stronger than I have ever been in my life.
I am in the best of health, have a good
appetite and am a new man altogether."
