Hood's Sarsaparilla endorsement and a death notice
Experience Ve. Inexperience. It is a matter of regret that in introduc ing Hood's Sarsaparilla, its proprietors are obliged to overcome a certain distrust by some people who have unfortunately bought worthless compounds mixed by pens ignorant of pharmacy.

And we say to those who lack confidence, read the unsolicited testimo nials in favor of Hood's Sarsaparilla, and then prove ita merits by actual personal test. We are confident you will not be disappointed, but will God it a medicine of great value, which can be implicitly , relied upon. 100 doses $1. Geo.
