The Spring.

Of all seasons in the year, is the one for making radical changes in regard to health. During the winter, the system becomes to certain extent clogged with waste, and the blood loaded with
 close confinement in poorly ventilated shops and homes, and other causes. This is the cause of the dull, sluggish, !, tired feeling so general at this season, and which must be overcome, or the health may be entirely broken down. Hoods Sarsaparilla has attained the greatest popularity all over the country as the favorite spring medicine. It ex- pels the accumulation of impurities through the bowels, kidneys, liver, lungs and skin, gives to the blood the purity and quality necessary to good health and overcomes that tired feeling.
