A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands rr.cl Arms Covered With Scrofulous Humors—How a Cure Was Effected.

When live years old my little bov had Bcrofuln on his face, hands and arms. It was worst on his chin, although the sores on his cheeks and hands were very bad. It appeared in the form of red pimples which would tester, break open and run and then scab over. After disappearing they would break out again. They caused intense itching and the little sutrerer had to be watched continually to keep him from scratching the sores. We became greatly alarmed at his condition. My wife's mother had had scrofula and the only medicine which had helpd her was Hood's Sarsaparilla. We decided to give it to our boy and we noted an improvement in his case very soon. After giving him four bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla the humor had all been driven out of his blood and it has never since returned." WILLIAM BARTZ, 416 South Williams St., South Bend,' Indiana.

You can buy Hood's Sarsaparilla of all druggists. Be sure to get only Hood's.
