Scrofulous Humor—A Cure “Almost Miraculous.” “When I was 14 years of age I had a severe | attack of rheumatisia, and after I recovered had to go on crutches. A year later, scrofula, in the form of white swellings, appeared on various parts of my body, and for 11 years I | was an invalid, being confined to my bed years. In that time ten or eleven sores ap- | peared and broke, causing me great pain and | suffering. I feared I never should get well. “Early in 1886 I went to Chicago to visit a | sister, but was confined to my bed most of the | time I was there. In July I read a book,‘ A Day with a Circus,’ in which were statements | of cures by Hood's Sarsaparilla. I was so im- | pressed with the success of this medicine that | I decided to try it. To my great gratification | the sores soon decreased, and I began to fee! better and in a short time I was up and, | out of doors, I continued to take Hood's Sar- saparilla for about a year, when, having used | six bottles, I had become so fully released | from the disease that I went to work for the | Flint & Walling Mfg. Co., and since then HAVE NOT LOST A SINGLE DAY On ac tof sickness. I believe the disease is expelled from my system, I always feel well, ai in good spirits and have a good appetite. Iam now 27 years of age and can walk as well as any one, except that one limb fs a little | shorter than the other, owing to the loss of bone, and the sores formerly on my right leg. To my frien my recovery seems almost miraculous, and I think Hood's Sarsapariila is the king of medicines.” Wittiam A. LEHR, 9 N. Railroad St., Kendallville, Ind.
