Salt Rheum
The agonies ot thoso who suffer from severe
salt rheum aro Indescribable. The cleansing.
healing, purifying influences of Hood's Sarsa-
parllla aro unequalled by any otner meaicme.
' I take pleasure in recommending Hood's
Sarsanartlla, for It has done wonders for me.
I had salt rheum very severely, affecting mo
over nearly my entire body. Only those who
have suffered from this disease in Its wont
form can imagine the extent ot my affliction.
I tried many medicines, but failed to receive
benefit until I took Hood's Sarsapnrilla.
Then the disease began to subside, the
Agonizing Itch and Pain
disappeared, and now I am entirely free from
the disease. My blood seems to be thor
oughly purified, and my general health Is
greatly benefited." Lyman Allex, Sexton
N. . Church. North Chicago, 111.
"My son had salt rheum on bis hands and
the calves ot his legs, so bad that they would
crack open and bleed. He took ITood's Bar-
saparUla and is entirely cured." J. B. Stak
TOK. Nt. Vernon, Ohio.
From 108 to 135
"I was seriously tronbled with salt rheum
lor three years, and receiving no benefit from
medical treatment I decided to try Hood's
BarsiparlUa. I am now entirely cured of salt
rheum; my weight has increased from 108 lbs,
tolas." Mas. Alice 8mitii, Stamford, Conn
It you suffer from salt rheum, or any blood
disease, try Hood's Barsaparllla. It has cured
many other;, and will cure you.
