Physicians did not help mo and I was given up to die. My illness developed a Complication of Dlscasos. I was without ambition or appetite. All strength had left me. One doctor said I had heart disease, another torpid liver, a third eald it was lung trouble and another consumption, and so on. I have no doubt, symptoms ot all thesa com plaints and even that ot rheumatism, judging from tho stiffness and pains in my Joints and legs at times, were mani fest. I was unable to attend to business, was confined to my room and frequently lay in a comatose state for hours. I was so feeble, and so little encouragement was offered, that I began to wonder Whoro I Would bo Burled. Finally, as a last effort to help myself, I decided to try Hood's Sarsaparilla.

The depressed feeling left me, and when one bottle had been taken, I had regained an appetito, and strength was coming back. After finishing tho third bottlo I was able to go about my commercial duties. I con tinued to Improve, and to satisfy my mind that I had fully regained health, I sub mitted myself to a doctor for examination. Ho pronounced me 'sound as a dollar.' Three months later, I passed a rigid ex amination for insuranee. I havo since been in the best ot health, notwithstand ing my travels, and I give All tho Credit to Hood's Sarsaparilla, as each season since I have taken several bottles. It keeps my blood in good circulation, gives me a keen ap petite and leaves no room for that tired feeling which naturally finds easy prey among those ot my calling in tho summer months after an early spring hustle. I consider Hood's Sarsaparilla the means ot saving my life, and I gladly speak in its favor." A. J. Leitch, home address, Cass House, Saginaw, Michigan.
