"Whou our boy was about 1G months old he broke out with a vash which was thought to be measles. In a few days he had a Kweiling on the left side of his neck and it was decided to be mumps. He was given medical attendance for about three weeks when the doctor said it wu# scrofula and ordered a waive. He wanted to lance the sore, but I would not let him and continued giving him medicine for about four months when the bunch broke in two places and became a running sore. Three doctors said it was scrofula and each ordered a blood medicine. A neighbor told me of a case somewhat like our baby's which was cured by Hood'a Sarsaparilla. I decided to give it to my boy and in a short while his health improved and his neck healed so nicely that I stopped giving him the mediciue. The sore broke out again, however, whereupon 1 again gave him Hood's Sarsaparilla and its persistent use has accomplished a complete oare." Mks. Nettie Chase, 47 K St.. N. E. So. is.
