It Is Just As Important

That you enrich and purify your blood in the fall as in the spring. At this time, owing to decaying vegetation, a low water level, and other causes, there are disease germs all about us, and a weak and debilitated system quickly yields to attacks of malaria, fevers, etc. By purifying and enriching your blood with Hood's Sarsaparilla you may build up your system to resist these dangers, as well as coughs, colds, pneumonia and the grip which come with colder weather, To be on the safe side, take Hood's Sarsaparilla now, and always be sure it is Hood's and not something else represented to be "just as good."
