Scne!&ula

Is the most ancient and most general Of all
diseases. Scarcely family is entirely free
from 1t, while thousands everywhere are its
suffering slaves. Hoods Sarsaparilla has had
remarkable success in curing every form Of
scrofula. The most severe and painful run
ming sores, swellings in the neck, or goitre,
humor In the eyes, causing partial or total
blindness, have yielded to the powerful effects
OF this medicine. 1t thoroughly removes
every trace of impurity from the blood and
builds up the weakened system.
The Worst Type.
My son was afflicted with the worst type
of scrofula, and on the recommendation of my
Druggist 1 gave him Hoods Sarsaparilla.

Calling at the State Museum yester-
day, we found that institution much
improved. The new rooms recently
added were well filled with an interest
ing exhibit of natural resources of the
State. One OF the rooms contains
complete collection of the native woods,
liz varieties, and next to it room de-
voted to building stones. Fine polished
blocks of granite, marbles of every shade
with splendid specimens of the best
brown stone in the Union. Of the latter
there are fine blocks from Egypt and
from Sanford where new quarry has
lately been opened and 40 stone cutters
busy in filling orders for dimension
stone. The Sanford company is under
the direction Of Mr.. W. II. Smith, Pres
ident, who says be has as much as he
can 60 to fill orders.
The mineral cases have all been re-
! painted and the specimens arranged in
better and more orderly system.
Each specimen bears a number and q
descriptive label, showing the scientific
and common name, variety, compost
ton crystal system, county and locality.
Further details in regard to each spe-
clmen IS to be found in the catalos ue,
Of which there are two volumes-o one
for mineral specimens ond one for geo.

constantly being received and the col
lection is steadily growing in interest
