Scrofula taints the blood of almost every one, and it is the cause of much of our health. If it attacks the breathing organs, the issue is consumption; if the digestive apparatus, the issue is dyspepsia and debility; if the muscles, the issue is rheumatism; if the nerves, the issue is paralysis; if the glandular system, the issue is in bolls and other superficial exhibitions of corruption. It is a mistake to characterize it as unseen. What festers your skin on every little abrasion? Scrofula. What gives that hack to your cough on exposure to the slightest damp and cold? Scrofula. What makes your food an oppression? Scrofula. What racks and twists the bones and sinews as you grow old? Scrofula. It operates by withholding nutrition and defeating all efforts toward nourishment, life becomes a burden, and the victim knows not the blessings and happiness of health. It is your duty to yourself, your family, and your race to manfully oppose and dislodge this demon. How? We can only say that others who were afflicted as you are have found relief and cure in a moderate use of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, that compound in which the skill of the modern pharmacist and the science of the most advanced medical knowledge unite for the benefit of suffering humanity.
