Court Hair-dressers. Messrs. Duke RumbaiI, apply
it regularly the ladies of the Court of St James

MISCELLANEOUS.
The Best Spring Medicine

The peculiar requirements
of a Spring Medicine are so
prominently possessed by
Hoods Sarsaparilla that it is
by far the best forthis purpose.
We know that by its Pecu-
liar Combination, Proportion
and Preparation it possesses
unequaled curative powers,
and by its results it is con-
stantly proving its positive
merit.
Hoods Sarsaparilla expe1s
from the blood all the i1npuri-
ties which have accumulated
during the winter, and also
cures scrofula, salt rheu1n and
other severe forms of blood
disease, inherited or acquired.
By its tonic and e1iminative
qualities it so assists the
stomach and digestive organs
that it cures dyspepsia, bill
iousness, etc. 1t also gives
such strength to the whole
system thatit efectually over
comes That Tired Feeling.
