Pains of
Rheumatism
Havo Completely Dis
appeared Since Taking
Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
Rheumatism is due to acid in tho
blood. Hood’s Sarsaparilla neutral
izes tlds acid and permanently cures
the aches and pains of rheumatism.
Read the following:
“ I was troubled with rheumatism when
I was a small boy,and I have been a suf
ferer with it more or less all my life. Not
long ago I took a bottle of Hood’s Barsa-
parilla, and it did me so much good I
continued its use, and since taking three
bottles I have felt no symptoms ot rheu
matism.” R. B. Blalock, Durham, N. C.
“I was troubled with rheumatism and
could hardly walk. I havo taken three
bottles of Hood’s Sarsaparilla and today
am a well man.” Robebt Jones, 302
Macko St., Wilmington, North Carolina.
