What is Scrofula
It Is that lrapuritr in the blood, which, accuma-
latlng In the glands ot the neck, producos nn
lightly lumps or swellings; which causes painful
running sores on tne arms, legs, or zeett irmca
develops ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often
causing blindness oi deafness i which Is the origin
of pimples, cancerous growths, or many other
manifestations usually ascribed to " humors."
It Is a more formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for scrofula combines the worst
possible features of both. Being the most ancient,
It Is the most general of all diseases or affections,
for very few persons are enurely free irom it.
Howcanltbecuredf By taking Hood's Sarsa
partlla, which, by the cores it has accomplished,
often when other medicines hare failed, has
proren Itself to be a potent and peculiar medicine
for this disease. For all affections of the blood
Hood's Barsaparilla Is unequalled, and somo of the
cures It has elf ected are really wondsrf uL If you
suffer from scrofula In any of Its Tarlous forms,
be sure to giro Hood's SariaparlUa a trial.
