Hood's Sarsapacilla Eradicated the Disease from His System. "Eruptions appeared on my little boy's •boulder and face. The effect of the medicines prescribed for him was to drive the humor from his face and shoulder to his eyes, which became badly inflamed. The more medicine he took the more the hamor spread.

He began taking it and we persevered in its use and after a while the eruptions began to disappear, and finally the flesh was all healed over. From that time there has been no return of the scrofula." MBS. CYEUS DOUB, Silver Lake, Indiana.
