This is Meant for You.


1t has been truly said that half

other half lives. Comparatively few
of us have perfect health, owing to
the impure condition OF our blood.
But we rub along from day to day,
with scarcely thought, ualess for
ced to our attention. of the thous-
ands all about us Who are suffering
from scrofula. salt rheum and other
serious blood disorders, and whose
agonies can only be imagined. The
marked success of Hoods Sarsapar-
lila for these truu les, as shewn in
our advertising columns frequently,
certainly seems to justify urging the
use of this excellent medicine by all
who know that their blood is dis
ordered Every claim in behalf of
Hood $ Sarsaparilla is fully backed
up by what the medicine has done
and is still doing, and when its pro-
prietors urge its merits and its use
upon all who suffer from impure
blood, In great or small degrees,
tie, certainly mean TO include you.

What Good Eoads Would Mean,

They would spare the farmer many
vexaticns and nervous strains.
They would practically shorten
the distance to the local market.
They would increase the demand
for country and suburban property.
They would bring every farming
community into closer social rela-
lions.
They would be free from dirt in
summer and mud and ruts in fall and
winter.
They would reduce to minimum
the wear and tear on wagons and
carriages.
They would require less expense
to keep them in repair than do the
dirt roads
They would make an evening drive
a pleasure instead Ola yexation, as
il is nov.
They would afford ready commu.
nication with the outside world at
all times Of the year.
They would do away with the alb
surd poll tax and supervisor system
in places where it is still in use.
They would make ii easier for q
team to pull several tons over their
smooth surface than to drag wagon
trough the mud.
