Prevention Vs. Cure.
Most people are quick to see the need of medical aid when disease has fastened itself upon them, or when they are prostrated by some epidemic. It is not everyone, however, who realizes the importance of keeping the body in such a state of health that it will be able at all times to resist the attacks of disease. It is when the system is w-eakened by overwork or worry, causing loss of appetite, etc., when it is greatly debilitated, or “all rundown," that the danger of serious sickness and heavy doctor’s bills is to be feared. On the other hand,, if perfect health can be maintained, the blood kept pure, and the circulation good, the appetite normal and the spirits cheerful, there will be no occasion to fear the grip, pneumonia, diphtheria or any similar ailment As a means of keeping the body in just this condition of health no better agent has yet been found than that great blood purifier and strength builder, Hood’s Sarsaparilla, While it is true that “Hood’s Sarsaparilla Cures” it is equally true that Hood’s Sarsaparilla prevents sickness, and this truth is of supreme importance to all. Mrs. C. C. Roles, of Wauregan, Conn., writing to the proprietors of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, stated the case most concisely when she said: “We don’t wait until we arh sick, but take Hood’s Sarsaparilla to’prevent sickness.” Certainly, prevention is far better than cure.
