Eczema All Over His Face
Had to Wear a Mask and to Have his Hands
and Arms Tied
Another Wonderful Cure by Hood's Sarsapariiia
"Banner, Maine, March 3, 1909.
"C. I. Hood Co., Lowell, Mass.
"Dear Sirs: In our home we
have so much reason to. be thank-
ful for Hood's Sarsapariiia and
Hood's Olive Ointment, that I
must tell you our experienct with
these medicine*.
"When my baby was four
months old his face broke-out with
small patches of ^eczema. The
doctor said baby would soon be all
right, but he steadily j^rew worse
nud at sixteen months of age,
baby's face, hands and arms were
in a dreadful state. The eczema
seemed to be spreading all over
bis body. His face was so sore,
und such a dreadful sight, we were
obliged to put a mask or cloth over
hi# face, arid we were obliged also
to tie up his little hands and arms
with cloths to prevent him from
scratching, and making' the in-
flamed places bleed. The disease
also affected his eves, and we were
airtid he would lose his eyebrows

fculted other doctors, used oint-
ments and halves sent us by friends
and neighbors. Some, of these
things would seem to have a little
effect, but after a few days would
net like a poition, at 4 increase this
terrible stubborn disease.
"Just one year ago this month
bahv lay between life and df-ath.
The doctor had told us he eonld do
no more, and we felt that we must
irive up trying to find any cure or
relief. Our hearts were just
breaking, and ve had the sympa-
thy of many friends and neighbors
who knew of our affliction. Final-
ly ray husband said one day, 'I am
going: to try Hood's Harsapurilla
and Hood's Olive Ointment.' We
began to use these medicines, and
oil! the results were astonishing!
We could soon see that the inflam-
mation was diminishing, and the
eruptions did not itch so budly.
"Gradually the improvement
continued, and to make a long
story short, in a few months he
was entirely free from that terri-
ble eczema, which had caused him
so much suffering. Today he is a
fine healthy boy, happy and hearty,
and full of roguish pranks. .His
skin is perfectly clear, and his
blood seems to be in fine condition.
I keep Hood's Sarsapariiia ou
hand, and give him a dose once in
a while. No one will wonder we
are strong friends of Hood's Sar-
sapariiia nnd Hood's Olive Oint-
ment. " Mrs. Inez Lewis.

lice he would prosecute both his wife

Aids Nature
The great success of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis-
covery in curing weak stomachs, wasted bodies, we^ak
lungs, and obstinate and lingering coughs, is based on
the recognition of the fundamental truth that "Golden
Medical Discovery" supplies Nature with body-build-
ing, tissue-repairing, muscle-making materials, in eon*
densed and concentrated form. With this help Natura
supplies the necessary strength to the stomaoh to digest
food, build up the body and thereby throw off lingering
obstinate coughs. The "Discovery" re-establishes the
digestive and nutritive organs in sound health, purifies
and enriches the blood, and nourishes the nerves—ia
■burt establishes sound vigorous health.
