Need Of q Spring Medicine.

With large majority of people
some kind OF q spring medicine IL
absolutely necessary, because, when
the season begins To change and the
warmer days come on. the body feels
the effect of the relaxation and cannot
keep up even the appearance of health
which the bracing air of winter aided
II to maintain? The impurities In the
blood are so powerful that slumbering
disease is awakened to action, and
suddenly appears In some part of the
body. Scrofula, salt rheum, boils,
pimples, or some other blood disease
manifests itself, or, the blood becoming
thin and impoverished, fails TO supply
the organs with needed strength, and
q dangerous state of debility comes on !;
"that tired feeling" is experienced in
its indescribable prostrating power.
In this condition thousands of peo-
pie naturally turn to Hoods Sarsap-
arilla. By its use the blood Is purified,
enriched and vitslized, all impurities
are expelled, and the vital fluid car
ries life and health to every organ.
BY the peculiar restoring and toning
qualities Of the medicine the tired
feeling Is overcome and the whole body
given strength and vigor. The appe-
tite is restored and sharpened, the
digestive organs are toned, and the
kidneys and liver invigorated.
Those who have never tried Hoods
Sarsaparilla should do so this spring.
1t Is thoroughly honest and reliable
preparation, purely vegetable, and
contains no injurious Ingredient what
ever.

Charles n. Dure while Suffering
From Melnncholia Ends His Life
= Charles L. Dure OF No. 9l3 West Ninth
stfeet, son Of Henry II. Dure, committed
suicide in the cellar of his house yesterday
morning. The sad Incident occurred at
1145 O'Clock. The deceased had been
suffering for q number OF years from con-
sumption, and there is no doubt but that
the tragic occurrence is directly attribu.
table to a temporary fit of melancholia.
The deceased, rs was his recent habit,
had arisen to late breakfast, following
which he had gone down into the cellar
to look after the fires. DR.. Frantz had
left the house at 11.30 o'clock from a
regular professional visit. He had had
q pleasant chat with the deceased. At
the tipe OF the incident the servant girl
was singing in the kitchen and is sup.
posed her voice drowned the noise of the
pistol report.
Upon going downstairs minute or two
afterwards the girl discovered MIR. Dure
lying upon the cellar floor near the
heater. She ran up in alarm reporting
what abe saw and which upon inyestiga.
ton disclosed itself as the tragic ending
of the deceased. He had qnietiy shot
himself through the mouth infiictipg an
instantaneonsly mortal wound.
Deputy Coroner Barnhill was at the
house at noon and made temporary in
vestigation Of the facts. A wife and three
children survive.
Mr.. Dure visited EVERY EykNrNd1of flee
on Monday to inquire concerning an ad-
vertisement appearing in those columns
concerning business opening. Bis
actions were regarded as rather strange
by those with whom he conyersod. The
more he discussed the business project
the more perplexing his manner seemed,
and he eventually remarked that he would
consider the proposition Of the adver.
tiHer, but Sat PRESENT. he stated, ''his
future was uncertain
Mr.. Dure was an exemplary young man.
BE was formerly member OF the arm OF
Bellah Il Company, wholesale hardware
and iron dealers. On account of III
health he retired from the business few
months ago and had afterward been ia
business in Philadelphia. He, however,
retired from his later place few weeks
ago and was evidently by his inquiries
DESTROYS of engaging in business here
again.
Inc deceased enjoyed the friendship OF
large circle Of social friends who were
drawn to him by his cordiality and genial
disposition, pnpretentiousness and unset
Ashness, In his home he was 0 most
cordial host and all who enjoyed the
social intercourse of bis home circle
were attracted by his devotion to his
family. He was about SO years Of age
