How !: g. Ca" CURED

u
BY taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
has proven itself to be potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. If you suffer from
scrofula, try Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Every spring my wife and children have
been troubled with scrofula, my little boy,
three years old, being terrible sufferer.
Last spring he was one mass Of sores from
head to feet. We all took Hoods Sarsaparilla,
and all have been cured of the scrofula. My
little boy is entirely free from sores, and all
four Of my children look bright and healthy"

make any further modification. Mr.. Wan
amaker's rate is 10 cents for ten words for

The Western Union is still con.
tinuing to take all government
messages, but ever since
last June they have refused to receive any
pay on the basis Of the new rates. It 10
said that the company proposes to insti-
tute suit to Determine the legal questions
involved, and that It will deny that the
government has q right to fx o rats which
is not . just remuneration for the services
rendered. and will claim that the rate Axed
by Postmaster General Wanamaker is Of
this character. The company, it is UNDER
stood. refuse to accept any money for tele-
graph services until the courts have rem
dered q decision. No suit, however, has
as yet been instituted, and government
officials are wondering when the telegraph
company proposes to take action.
