What is ScrOfuIa.

1t is that impurity in the blood, which, accumu-
lating in the glands of the neck, produces I'M
slightly Jumps or swellings; which causes painful
running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which
deyelopes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often
causing blindness or deafness; which is the origin
of pimpes, cancerous growths, or the many other
manifestations usually ascribed to "humors."
1t is more formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for scrofula combines the worst
possible features of both Being the most ancient,
il is the most general of all diseases affections,
for very few persons are entirely free from it.
How can il be cured? By taking Hoods Sarsa-
prrilla, which. by the cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar medicine
for this disease. Some of these cures are really
wonderful. If you suffer from scrofula In any OF
its various forms, be sure to give Hoods Sarsapa-
rila trial. Send for book OF cures.

Two Ways. Choose yvhIc.,.

There are two usual ways of doing
what Nature sometimes does incom-
pletely, namely, to relieve the bowels
One is to swallow a drastic puryative
which evacuates profuseIy. abruptly and
with pain. the other is to take Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, the effect OF which
is not violent, but sufficiently thorough,
and which docs not grippe the intestines.
If the first is selected, the person EN-
Ploying it need not expect permanent
benefit and lie cannot hope to escape
the facilitating reaction which leaves
the organs as bad or worse off than be-
fore. If, on the other hand. he resorts
to the Bitters, he can rely upon tie
restoration of regular habit OF body,
consequent upon a renewal OF heaIthiul
tone in the intestinal canal. Besides
healthfuIly relaxing the bowels, the
Bitters arOuses a dormant liver, imparts
a beneficial impetus to the action of the
kidueys, and counteracts the early
twinges of rheumatism, a tendency to
cout, and malaria in all its forms.

All who are BALD, all who are be-
coming b AID, all who do not want to
be BALD, all who are troubled with
DANDRUFF, or ITCHING of the SCALP
should use Bentonis Hair Grower. Eigh-
ty per cent. of those using it have grown
hair. 1t never fails to stop the hair
from falling. Through sickness and fe-
vers the hair sometimes falls off in a
short time, ana although the person may
have remained bald for years, if you use
Benton's Hair Grower according to di-
rections you are sure of a growth of
hair. In hundreds of cases we have
produced good growth of hair on those
wko have been bald and glazed for
years. We have fully substantiated the
following facts:
We grow Hair in every case no matter
how long bald.
Unlike other preparations, it contains
no sugar OF lead, or vegetable or
mineral poisons.
1t is aspecitic for falling hair, dandruff.
and itching of the scalp.
The Hair Grower is a hair food, and
its composition is almost exactly like
the oil which supplies the hair with
its vitality.
II your druggists have not got it we
will send it prepaid OH receipt of price.

Probably no one thing has caused
such a general revival of trade at Van
Gilder's Drug Store as their giving away
to their customers of SO many free trial
bottles of Dr. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption. Their trade is simply
enormous in this very valuable article
from the fact that it always cures and
