rifier. The father

girl writes this:
" We gave Hood's
Sarsaparllla to oar
little girl, who hid
symptoms of hip
disease. She could
not put her foot
down on the floor
when we eon
menced giving her ths medicine, bnt In
short time she was able to get off the
conch and to retch her playthings. Bines
then she has steadily improved, thanks to

When any of the other children are not
well we give them

years, but received no benefit. The Ooitre
kept on growing unl.l ho had to have the
neck bands of his shirt made extra large.
It would cause him to have a ehoklrg
sensation in his throat when Bwallowinir,
and was generally annoy. rig to him at all
times. ili saw Dr. Smith's advertise
ments and made up his mind to cull on
him, which ha did without delay and w i
favorably Impressed with the methodu
i used by Dr. Smith and stuff and at onro
I commenced to tak magnetic treatment"
and much to his gratitieat'.on in a very
1 short time commenced to see the Goitre
! growing smeller and in two months it had
I entirely disappeared and ho was dis
