In the combination, proportion, and prepara
tion of its ingredients, Hood's Sarsaparill
accomplishes cures where other preparations
entirely fail. Peculiar in its good name at
home, which is a "tower of strength abroad,:"

tained, Hood's Sarsaparilla is the most suc-
cessful medicine for purifying the blood,
giying strength, and creating an appetite.
