BABY'S SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter-

Tells all about Her Troubles when

Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores. "At the nge of two months, my baby began to have sores break out on his right cheek. We used nil the external applications that, we could think or hear of, to no avail. The sores spread all over one side of his face. We consulted a physician and tried his medicine, and in a week the sore was gone. But to my surprise in two weeks more another scrofulous looking sore appeared on baby's arm. It grew worse and worse, and when he was three months old, I began giving him Hood's Snrsupnrilla. I also took Hood's Sarsaparilln, and before the first bottlo was finished, the sores were well and have never returned, lie is now four years old, hut he hns never had any sign of those scrofulous sores since lie was cured by Hood's Sarsuparilla, for which I feel very grateful. My boy owes his good health and smooth, fair skin to this great medicine." Mrs. S. S. Wtiotkn, Farmington, Delaware. Get only Hood's. a re it an
