When the first edition of Hood's Cook Book was published, in 1877, referring to public sentiment, we advisedly used the following language : "We are aware that there is a justifiable distrust of reme- dies put up in patent medicine style? owing to the worthlessness of a large majority of such medicines." And we further stated, by way of explanation, that "Frequent calls over our counter for a reliable blood purifier, alterative and tonic, was the motive power which set us to work to compound an article which we could use in our own family, among our friends, and conscientiously advise our customers to use whom we meet face to face." WE ARE GLAD TO STATE That the prejudice to which we referred lias gradually given way, and the current of public opinion has been changed from one of doubt to implicit confidence in Hood's Sarsaparilla by our honest methods in advertising, our care to pub- lish only truthful statements, and by our constant care to purchase only the choicest of roots, barks and other articles entering into this medicine. Hood's Sar- saparilla received its first commenda- tions from our neighbors and citizens of Lowell. Their good words were such as to make calls for it in the neighboring cities and towns ; and thus, from a small beginning, the circuit of demand for HOODS SARSAPARILLA Has continually increased until now its name, fame and curative power are very widely known and recognized. It lias made its way against the most powerful opposition, and stands apart from and ahead of all competitors, not only as the best blood purifying and tonic medicine in existence, but as the cheapest and most economical, being the only one which gives one hundred doses for one dollar. Hence Hood's Sar- saparilla may appropriately be termed •'The People's Medicine." The claims made regarding the curat ive powers of Hood's Sarsaparilla, are based entirely on what the people say it has done for them, and not upon some imaginative list of diseases and com- plaints. There is not a single thing which we claim that Hood's Sarsaparilla will do, which it has not already accom- plished, as will be seen by the numerous letters published in this book, and whicli are almost entirely from people unknown to us, and of whom we never heard till they, of their own accord, wrote to us to tell what Hood's Sarsaparilla had done. HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA Has proven a sovereign remedy for the most severe cases of scrofula, whether in the form of terrible running sores or ulcers, or in the milder form of scrofulous humor, and for salt rheum, scald head, boils, pimples, ringworm, and all diseases of the blood. It has relieved the tortures of dyspepsia, biliousness, sick headache, indigestion, and all troubles arising from a weak or disordered stomach. It lias restored to health and strength the form wasted by disease or prostrated by change of climate, season, or life, im- proved the appetite, and driven off that EXTREME TIRED FEELING
