my Daughters Life was Saved"

saved, as we believe, by Hoods Sarsaparilla 1
would say that before she was six months old
scrofula sores began to appear on different parts
OF her body and in short time she had seven
running sores. Two physicians were called but
they gave us no hope. One of them advised the
amputation of one of her fingers. TO which we re-
fused assent. Our attention was called to Hoods
sarsaparilla, and we began giving it to her. A
marked improvement was noticed after she had
taken only one bottle, and by continued use of
it her recovery was complete. And she is now
being seven years old, strong and healthy. The
other members of my family have been generally
benefited by Hoods Sarsaparilla, and I recon-
mend it as an excellent blood purifier" B. c.

ITEMS FOR HORSEMEN.

Tomorrow there will be two interesting
races at Presumpscot Park, Deering. The
classes to be trotted are the 2.45 and 3-minute.
There are full entries in both class and a
large attendance is expected. In the adver-
tisement elsewhere published the names of
the horses are given.
Negotiations are pending for match be-
tween the Maine stallion Nelson, 2.15, and
the California Stamboul, 2.142 G. II. Mel
son, owner of the former, says he will take
Nelson to California to meet the crack son
of Sultan in contest of heats.-1[ Mirror and

The greatest bargains. without doubt are
the Parlor Suit and Carpet offers, although
everything is at least 30 per cent below usual
price. If you want to furnish a parlor
complete, you will never get better chance
to do so, as far as price and quality is
concerned. We thought well over this
special sale before we advertised 1t and had
some idea Of keeping the higher priced
Parlor Furniture out Of the sale but finally
decided to clear few at loss in order to
get room for Fall goods now on the way, so
that we can assure the public Of this being
grand opportunity to richly furnish for very
little outlay. We have had a hearty re-
Spouse to one call, and we hope Friday ana
Saturday will still be better.
