pressly to organize societies, has been ac-
lively engaged in this work since 1882. With
out any remuneration for her services or any
allowance from the general fund for expen-
ses. she has been instrumental in forming
auxilaries in which nearly 1000 members
have been received. 1t is such self-sacrifc-
ing that has given to this society such phe-
nomenal growth.
Mrs. Springer was reared In New England

degree as fellow of S. i. A. from London.

"my Daughters Life was save5.r
''In regard TO my little daughter whose life
was saved, as we believe, by Hoods Sarsaparllla,
would say that before she was six months old
scrofula sores began to appear ON different parts
OF her body. and in a short time she had 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 refused assent.
Our attention was called to Hoods Sarsaparilla,
and we began to give it to her. A marked i'm
proyement was noticed after she had taken only
one bottle, and by continued use of 1t her re-
covery was complete. And she is now, being
