you could stand behind our counter week
and hear what those say who are using it,
the reason would appear as clear as the
noon-day sun. The real curative power of
HOOPS SARsAPARILLA demonstrates itself
in every case where our directions are faith
fully regarded. We would that we might
get before the people fractional part of the
confidence that is expressed TO US every day
in this medicine by those who have carefully
noted without prejudice) its effects upon the
blood and through that upon the whole sys-

Cold Hands and Feet.
LOWELL, Feb. 8, 1879.
MEssRs. c. |. HOOD s. Co.: Gentlemen-
About one year ago my daughter commenced
taking your Sarsaparilla. At that time. she
had very little appetite; could take no long
walks, and her face was badly broken out
with ahumor. She was low-Spirlted; troubled
with cold hands and feet; her blood seemed
to be poor, and she was in a condition which
caused us great anxiety. After taking one
bottle of your Sarsaparilla she began to im-
prove; and she now has a good appetite and
can take much longer walks. Her humor is
nothing compared with what it was one year
ago. She is in better spirits, iSnot troubled
with cold hands and feet as previously. And
/ attribute this improvement in her condi-
ton largely to your SarSaparilla. She has
taken six bottles, and intends to continue its
use. l was inclined to oppose the trial OF it
at first. now have great faith in it as a
blood purifier. Very truly yours,

PROTESTING CoUPoNs-Clty Treasurer
Harlow, of ALEXANDRIA, upon learning the
purport of the decision of the Supreme
Court in Virginia coupon cases, telegraph
ed State Auditor Marye what he should do
in the matter and received reply
from the auditor, in which he says: do
not receive coupons in payment for taxes
or licenses. The laws of our State forbid
you to do so. 1t will be time enough to
violate our State laws when compelled to
do so. Certainly a newspaper statement
of decision by the Supreme Court is not
sufficient authority for so doing. There
need be no hurry in the matter. If cou-
pons are rendered in payment of taxes re-
fuse to receive them. If coupons are ten
dered as deposit for the purpose of OBJ
tanning certificate to apply for a license
refuse to receive them. If the party feels
aggrieved at this refusal, let him apply for
a mandamus. He cannot do business
without the proper license, even should it
be eventually decided. If any person does
business without the proper license. al
though he has rendered coupons, pros
ecute him for violation of law y
