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 Which many people experience at certain seasons of the year. It has cured people who suffered greatly from that very com- mon complaint, catarrh ; and those who were afflicted with the pains and aches of rheumatism have found in it positive relief and permanent cure. What Hood's Sarsaparilla has done, is what we claim it will do. We submit that the statements in this book constitute conclusive proof that Hood's Sarsaparilla is all it is repre- sented to be.

HOOD & CO„ PROPRIETORS OF HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA. 1885. INTRODUCTION "The High-Street Cook Book"' was originally prepared and published by the ladies of High-Street Congregational Church, Lowell, Mass., for the purpose of being sold at their Annual Fair. The receipts were contributed by the ladies themselves, some of whom have quite a local reputation as excellent cooks and housekeepers, and were such as they had tried and found valuable in their own experience. Thus the book possessed the great advantage of being thoroughly practical, and it is not surprising that it was a great success. The edition pub- lished for the Fair was soon disposed of, and the demand continued so great that it was thought advisable to have the book republished. This edition, pub- lished by Hie proprietors of Hood's Sar- saparilla, is the result, And believing that the circulation of so excellent a book should not be limited, we have decided that our edition shall he so large thai every housekeeper in the country who desires it may have a copy. It may be obtained free of your druggist, or by sending a two-cenl stamp to the pub- lishers, C. I. HOOD& CO.. Lowell, Mass But the value of this edition of the High-Street Cook Book is not confined to the receipts and hints for cooking herein contained. The information that is given concerning the curative value of, and cures effected by. Hood's Sarsaparilla, is of sufficient importance to deserve care- ful reading and considerate attention. "Only advertising!" you say. Verj true. But as "only advertising." we believe it will prove a blessing to many a poor sufferer, who will learn from it how others have been benefited ami how he may he cured. Honest statements have a right to everybody's attention. And before you prepare to skip lightly over the "advertising." we wish to im- press upon your mind the fact that every statement we make, every testi- monial we use, will stand the closest investigation, and even the most remark- able cures are confirmed by conclusive evidence. We believe Hood's Sarsapa- rilla is doing a vast amount of good, and we republish this boot; in Hie confident belief that it will help on the good work of advancing the interests of a thoroughly honest and reliable medicine.

Thousands of children have reason to be thankful for Mood's Sarsaparilla. as it has proven a cure for disagreeable dis- eases of the blood which rendered then- lives miserable. Even infants are cured of troublesome complaints by this medi- cine, as the following letter will show: " My child was born with a dry COUgh, and at the age of eight months was taken with inflammatory rheumatism. We had the best medical skill in the city. His ankles swelled greatly, and one finger became swollen until it turned purple. The doctor thought it would require am- putating, and Ins life was despaired of. Then we commenced to give him Mood's Sarsaparilla, When in one week he showed signs of improving. We gave him one bottle. The COUgh and swelling disap- peared, he gained in flesh, and is now- well and Strong. He has not taken any medicine for four months. We hope this may induce others to take Hood's Sarsa- parilla." ('. Kkmi.u.i.. Davenport. Iowa. Quick Effect.

An Engineer's Wife. Mr. IT. I). Winans, whose wife's state- ment is given below, is an engineer on the Michigan Central Railroad. He says that many a night, after coming home from a hard day's work, he had to lose most of his night's rest, caring for his invalid wife. No medical attendance or other medicines seemed to do her any good. But when she began to take Hood's Sarsaparilla, improvement began at once. She soon rested much better and Mr. Winans has not lost a night's rest since. Mrs. Winans says: " I have been in poor health several years, and have tried many medicines but did not receive much of any benefit from them. 1 was advised to try Hood's Sarsaparilla, and did so. I have now taken nearly three bottles and have rc- ceived more benefit from it than from any other medicine I ever used. My trouble being caused by indigestion, I was very much troubled with restless- ness dining the night, and in the morning would get up with a very tired feeling. After taking only a part of the first, bottle 1 could rest, well all night and feel re- freshed when I woke up. 1 must say ilia) Hood's Sarsaparilla is all it is rec- ommended to be.'' Mrs. H.

We ha\e just received letters, given below, in which the advice of a pastor who had himself experienced benefit from Hood's Sarsaparilla, was followed with the most gratifying results: "About a year ago 1 was for a long time a sufferer from a had humor, w hich came out all over my face, head, and neck, producing a burning sensation hard to endure. My neck and the lower part of my face were badly swollen. I had medical treatment, bul in vain.

" I have used Hood's Sarsaparilla for a blood purifier in my family for several years, and cannot speak too highly of it. it has been very beneficial in cases of cramp and colic, with which we have been troubled in ihis section." J. E. Collins. Bassett House. Piqua, Ohio. A Good No vie at Home. It was from the people of Lowell and vicinity that Hood's Sarsaparilla received its first words of praise and recommen- dation. Their good words led many others to use it, with uniform excellent results, and thus the knowledge of its curative power has become very widely extended. We are pleased to state that the popularity of Hood's Sarsaparilla lias continued undiminished in our own home, and is now, as it has been for years, the leading and most successful medicine for purifying the blood ami toning and strengthening the system. It would require a volume to contain all the praise Lowell people have given Hood's Sarsaparilla. Headache — Stomach Disorder. Mr. C. W. Marriott is the well-known First Assistant Fire Engineer of Lowell, having been in the Fire Department .31 years -longer than any other man. He fully endorses his wife's statement, which follows : "Forfully sixteen years l was troubled with a disorder of the stomach and severe sick headache, which nothing seemed to relieve though 1 consulted physicians and have expended over a thousand dollars for prescriptions and advice. I was strongly urged to try Hood's Sarsapa- rilla, but refused for a long time. I bought two or three bottles, but gave them away without giving the medicine a fair trial myself. Finally, I determined to give it a fair trial and am glad I did so. 1 had become all run down, suffered from NERVOUS PROSTRATION, and had the very severe attacks of headache every fortnight or oftener. a! Which times I was obliged to take to my bed. and being unable to endure any noise, could simply sutler patiently till the attack was over. It always ended in vomiting spells. Physicians seemed to think there was no help for me. and said there was nothing to build from. Soon alter I began to use the Sarsaparilla steadily, my attacks of headache became less and less frequent until they ceased altogether and I have not had the head- ache now for six months.

She received only temporary relief from medicines, until a friend induced us to try Hood's Barsapa- rllla. About Nov. i.">. 1884, she began to take it. weighing then only 113 pounds.

On the top of the dish put coarse bread crumbs with little pieces of butter to make a handsome crust, as you would on scalloped oysters, and then bake for about three-quarters of an hour. In place of all bread-crumbs you can use some cold cooked potatoes. Hood's Sar- saparilla cures biliousnes and headache. 35. Spiced Tomato Beefsteak.

The letter which Ave give below is of unusual importance and deserves careful consideration, from the character and prominence of the gentleman who writes it. Professor Cilley has devoted his en- tire life to teaching, and is widely known in New England as an educator, in the best sense of the word, and whose pupils honor and respect him. He always has marked influence in educational, politi- cal, and other gatherings which he at- tends. He says: " I cheerfully give my experience in the use of Hood's Sarsaparilla: I had been TROUBLED WITH CATARRH a long time, and had used various medi- cines as remedies with no good results, when, in the summer of 1881, I was so affected by the disease that speech was somewhat difficult, and my voice was en- tirely unnatural. I then began to use Hood's Sarsaparilla as a remedy, and with such good effect, that, in a few weeks, speech was easy, the voice nat- ural, and my general health was much improved. Sometimes a, return of the disease is induced by taking cold, when I resort at once to the use of Hood's Sar- saparilla, which I keep by me constantly, and always find relief. I regard Hood's Sarsaparilla as an invaluable remedy for catarrh, and judging by its effects upon myself, I cannot, say too much in its praise." J. S. Cilley, Jericho, Vt. Bheumatism. " I have taken Hood's Sarsaparilla for rheumatism, and have received great benefit from it. I cheerfully recom- mend it as a tonic for the general sys- tem.'' W. lUrnnsAL, Lebanon, Ohio.

Albert Bates, whose Btatemenl follows, has been for man) years em ployed by J. W. Bennett, Esq., a leading contractor ami builder of Lowell, and is well-known as a reliable man : " From 1">\1 1 I have been troubled with scrofula or sail rheum humor, which manifested itself In various disagreeable forms, i had sores on different parts of my body, and at one time I had a large bunch c in my neck, which develo] ed into a running sore and troubled me for a long time. The most serious affection, bowever, appeared aboul three yeai on my leg between the k and ankle. From an injury to the skin, which was comparatively slight, there grew, as the result Of a cold and humor, a running sore, which became worse and spread till at one time it covered a place on my leg fully six Inches long by three or [our inches wide. 1 was obliged to keep it bandaged constantly, and when I changed the bandages every night, it caused a >i \ BSE BURS i v.

I happened to be reading of the cures Hood's Sarsaparilla had effected in cases similar to mine, and I decided to give it a trial. In connection with the Sarsaparilla. I used Hood's Olive Oint- ment for the purpose of cooling and soothing the soie. and it served its pur- pose admirably. The effects of the Sar- saparilla were also soon apparent. The sore began to .mow less, ami in a few months had entirely healed, leaving a large scar which 1 suppose I shall always have upon me. My blood seems to have been thoroughly purified, as i bave not been troubled by the humor in anj way Blnce, though before l began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla i was ^< Idom free from it in some form, l have recommen- ded Hood's Sarsaparilla to other people frequently, and do now recommend it to every one troubled with scrofula or salt rheum, or any in need of a medicine to purify the blood."

Dyspepsia- Is caused by carelessness in diet, high living, eating too rapidly, too rich food, overtaxing the stomach with indigestible food, etc. Constipation, headache, heart- burn, sour stomach, distress after eating, faintness, dizziness, and capricious appe- tite are some of the many distressing symptoms. Persons troubled with dys- pepsia are miserable, hopeless, confused and depressed in mind, very irritable, languid, and drowsy. Dyspepsia requires careful, persistent attention, and a remedy to throw off the causes and tone up the digestive organs. Hood's Sarsapa- rilla has proven just the remedy in hun- dreds of cases. The Best Results. " I have had dyspepsia for several years and was urged to try Hood's Sarsaparilla, which I did with the very best results. I have also been troubled with catarrh, but since taking Hood's Sarsaparilla have been very much better. I have recommended it to my neighbors, and all who have taken it speak very highly of it." Mrs. Mary J. Ryan, 131 High Street, Indianapolis, Ind. Dyspepsia Entirely Cured. " I have been troubled with dyspepsia for many years, so that at times 1 would despair of ever being well. Medicine did not seem to do me any good. 1 was for a number of years unable to work. Two years ago Hood's Sarsaparilla was recom- mended by a friend, and I got a bottle and used it. It did me so much good that I have taken several bottles, which have cured the dyspepsia, and I now consider myself entirely well. I cannot find words strong enough to express satisfactorily to myself my feeling in favor of Hood's Sar- saparilla. it has done everything for me, and I cheerfully recommend it. I think it the best blood purifier in the market." Mi:s. S. M. Beede, Marblehead, Mass.

A peculiar form of scrofula is swelling of the glands of the neck, often forming large bunches, which are very disagree- able and unsightly. These bunches ac- cumulate a quantity of foul matter, and have a weakening and depressing effect upon the general health. We give below a statement from a lady who suffered from an affection of this kind and was greatly benefited by Hood's Sarsaparilla. " Hood's Sarsaparilla has done for me what the best medical treatment in this vicinity has failed to accomplish. My disease was an enlargement of the glands of my neck. The gland back of my left car was swollen as large as a hen's egg, and the glands on my neck and collar bone were swollen to about the same size. I doctored and suffered for eigh- teen long months, and could find no relief in anything T tried. My WHOLE GLANDULAR SYSTEM seemed affected. I read in a book that similar cases had been cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla, and I decided to try it. I almost immediately found relief, and having now taken five bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla, I believe there is nothing equal to it for diseases of this kind. I have also used three boxes of Hood's Vegetable Pills and Hood's Olive Ointment with good results. T am now able to do my work, something 1 have not, done for li\e years. The swelling of the glands has been reduced over half, and I intend to keep on taking the medi- cine till it is entirely gone. My general health has never been better than now. T most heartily recommend Hood's Sar- saparilla to all Mho may be suffering, and T know of six families who are using it by hearing how I have been benefited bv It. Hood's Sarsaparilla has certainly done me great good." Mrs. William McDonaIiD, 94 North Street, Wooster,0. I'lrasinif Results.

" I am glad to bear testimony to the superior worth of Hood's Sarsaparilla. When in the spring I felt all run down and much debilitated, I found it just the medicine to build me up. My wife also, after much physical prostration, found in its use new life and most lasting benefit. Upon our little girl, who had been sick with scarlet fever, its use was most mar- velous, entirely removing the poison from her blood and restoring her to good health.
