Rheumatism
"What is the use of telling the rheumatic
that he feels as if his joints were being dis
located
He knows that his sufferings are very
much like the tortures of the rack.
What he wants to know is what will per
manently cure his disease.
That, according to thousands of grateful
testimonials, is
Hood's Sarsaparilla
It promptly neutralizes the acid in the
blood on which the disease depends, com
pletely eliminates it, and strengthens the
system against its return. Try Hood's.
About a year ago my hair was
coming out very fast, so I bought
a bottle of Ayer's Hair Vigor. It
stopped the falling and made my
hair grow very rapidly, until now it
is 45 inches in length."—Mrs. A.
Boydston, Atchison, Kans.
There's another hunger
than that of the stomach.
Hair hunger, for instance.
Hungry hair needs food,
needs hair vigor—Ayer's.
This is why we say that
Ayer's Hair Vigor always
restores color, and makes
the hair grow long and
heavy.
SI.OO a bottle. All druggists.
If your druq cannot supply you,
send "lis ono dollar and wo will express
you a bottle, lie sure and give the name

Col. that be should be brought home to
be buried by the aide of his aged com
