salt to taste, one handful of Indian meal ; mix with Hour to a batter and pour into muffin-pans. Bake quickly. Hoods Sarsaparilla is pleasant to take. Scrofula and Prostration. The severe prostration which is de- scribed in the following testimonial is often experienced by those who suffer from scrofulous sores or abscesses, being caused by the terrible drain upon the system made by these heads of corrup- tion. The power of Hood's Sarsaparilla to remove the scrofula taint from the blood, to overcome its weakening effects, and to tone up and restore the system to health, are also forcibly illustrated. Mr. Samuel E. Curtis, of Quincy, Mass., a well-known stone-cutter, says: " From a boy I have been troubled with scrofula humor. During the spring and summer of 1884 I was in a bad way, hav- ing some of the time six or seven ab- scesses on and about my neck. I became so weak as to be hardly able to drag myself about and was almost unable to work. Most of my friends felt sure that I was going into consumption. Very soon after eating, A DEATHLY FAINTNESS would come on. I felt I must soon give up. Every piece of work I commenced I felt must be my last. I had tried many so-called remedies, but with little or no benefit. About the first of July, a friend recommended to me Hood's Sarsapa- rilla, he having been benefited by its use. I got a bottle and commenced to take it regularly, according to directions. Be- fore I had finished the second bottle I had another abscess come on my side, but that one and the others soon com- menced to heal up, and all eventually disappeared. My general health im- proved. I have taken about five bottles. When I commenced, I weighed 127 pounds, now 1 weigh 145, and I feel STRONG AM) VIGOROUS. I can do my good day's work with as much ease as ever I could at any period of my life. After what flood's Sarsapa- rilla has done for me, I feel that too much cannot he said in its praise. It gives me pleasure to recommend it to others, as I feel confident in regard to its intrinsic worth." S. E. Curtis, Quincy, Mass. Hood's Sarsaparilla is made only by C. I. HOOD & CO., Lowell, Mass.
