Purify
Your Blood

At the coming of spring the blood should be
purified, as impurities which have been accumu-
lating for months OF even years, are liable to
manifest themselves and seriously effect the
health. Hoods Sarsaparilla is undoubtedly the
best blood purifier. 1t expels every faint of i'm
purity, drives out scrofulous humors and germs
Of disease, and gives to the blood the quality and
tone essential to good health.

believe, by Hoods Sarsaparilla. Before she was
six months old scrofula sores began to appear on

advised the amputation of one of her fingers, to
which we refused assent Our attention was
called to Hoods Sarsaparila, and we began CIV
ing it TO her. A marked improvement was noticed
after she had taken only one bottle, and by a
continued use of 1t her recovery was complete.
And she is now, being seven years old, strong and
healthy. The other members of my family have
been greatly benefited by Hoods Sarsaparilla.

a Clever Counterfeiter.

Becker, at the end of the last century,
was the clever engraver of mum Der OF
counterfeit Greek and Roman coins
To give the requisite surface Of worn age
to his productions, 1T was his ingenious
method to inclose his specimens in a
boz containing a number of iron filings,
and then to take the box out for a drive
or two on the jolting roads of his day.
After Becker had supplied so large a
number of his counterfeits as almost to
glut the market, he coolly turned round
and confessed, and turned an honest
penny by producing sets of his dies, so

The treaty went into effect June Is, to

whether the treaty allowed it to capture
this number of seals during the entire
season. which went into effect before
the treaty was signed. The official
said that no trouble could be antici-
pated in settling the difficulty.
