A POINT TO REMEMBER
If you wish to purify your blood. you
should take a medicine which cares
blood diseases. The record of cures by
Hood's Sarsaparilla proves that this is
the best medicine for the blood ever
produced. Hood's Sarsaparilla causes
the most stubborn cases and it is the
medicine for you to take if your blood
is impure.
Hood's Pills are the best after-dinner
ill; assist digestion, cure headache.
