Everybody needs and should take good spring
medicine, for two reasons:
1st, The body is now more susceptible TO benefit
from medicine than at any other season.
I'd, The impurities which have accumulated in
the blood should be expelled, and the system
given tone and strength, before the prostrating
effects of warm weather are felt.
Hoods SarsapariIIa
Is the best spring medicine for everybody. 1t
purifes the blood. 1t sharpens the appetite.
1t tones the digestion. Ii overc0mes debility. 1t
builds up the whole system. Try it this spring.
"When bought Hoods Sarsaparilla made a
good investment of one dollar in medicine for the
first time. 1t has driven of rheumatism and I'M
proved my appetite so much that my boarding
mistress says must keep it locked up or she will
be obliged to raise my board with every other
boarder that takes Hoods Sarsaparilla.'
THOMAS BURRELL, 80 Hilary ST., Brooklyn, N. Y
Tones and Strengthens
when In the spring felt all run down and
debilitated found Hoods Sarsaparilla just the
medicine to build me up. My wife Also after
much physical prostratiOn, found in its use new
life and lasting benefit. Upon our little girl who
had been sick with scarlet fever. its effect was
marvellous, entirely removing the poison from
her blood and restoring her to good health"

Contracted HoOfs.

Contraction Of the hoofs is often
caused by unskillful shoeing and exces-
sivc rasping of the surface Of the horn
Of the foot This causes the horn to
dry and lose its large proportion Of
water and thus shrink and sometimes
crack and scri ously interfere with the
vascular tissue Of the foot under the
horn. Excessive lameness then follows
and the foot becomes permanently dis
torted. The trouble is then incurable.
1t can only be prevented by avoiding
the causes, another of which is fever Of
the feet, produced by overlooking, or
what is commonly termed founder.
Some relief is possible by soaking the
feet IN hot water and keeping the hoofs
constantly wet and dressed with glycer-
inc, removing shoes ana keeping the
horse unshod and standing in soft
puddle of clay, when in time new horn
grows downward and replaces the old
shrunken hoof. 1t is a slow process,
and perseverance is necessary to COM

Indian MOurnerS.

OF all the different kinds of people
among whom l have lived, the Indians
of northern California carry the mem
DRY of their dead the longest, and I
had almost written, feel their loss the
most. l have often thought, as the
walls of the women came to me in the
night, casting a chill and a shudder,
something like a sense of indetinable
dread over me, for the sounds are ex-
ceedingIy mOurnful-that the life of
these people was a constant Giorno del
MORT. l have seen old women, bent
with age, rocking their bodies to and
fro with grief in some dry, grass-cov-
cred ditch, moaning as if their hearts
were breaking, and upon inquiry have
been told that they were moaning for
husband or children dead perhaps for
years, the thought Of whom had struck
sharply upon them while going about
their occupation. All! they are mourn
ers indeed, these children of the noun
tains-mourners for their people, mourn
ers for their lost homes, mourners for
their fast dying race. = Overland
